As I was walking up and down my thirty degree incline this morning (a part of a concrete water drainage ditch), I saw a young lady (about 25-30 years old) walking her German Shepherd dog. There is a pathway close to the incline that leads to one of the main streets. She was in the process of taking her dog down the pathway, when she saw me walking up and down the incline. Being about 30 yards away, she immediately did a 180 degree turn and walked her dog along another side street.Given the gift of being able to read people (as my late grandmother could), I made the following five "reads" about this young lady, not knowing anything about her:
- She was an obvious dog lover and had trained her dog to stay close to her side.
- She was interested in taking care of her figure and health by walking and keeping trim.
- She exhibited decorum in her dress and manner, not drawing attention to herself in any way (no shorts, tank top, tattoos or body piercings were observed).
- In making her 180 degree turn, she displayed prudence, avoiding any potential trouble, since she didn't know if I could have turned out to be a possible enemy.
- She avoided any possible altercation between her dog and me, since dogs have a tendency to not trust strangers.
