When Brian and I arrived in Jonesboro, Nick came out to meet us and for some reason, one of us asked about his bike. Wouldn't you know, Nick then shared that his bike was the one laying in the bushes across from his apartment as someone had tried to steal it. (That person took the seat but did not succeed in getting the bike over the fence so the goal was not met.) My question to Nick was, however, "Aren't you going to go and pick up your bike to see if it can be fixed?" Nick said that he eventually would, and then proceeded to carry things from our car into his place. To say we were puzzled is an understatement as the bike had been laying there for at least 10 days. It never occurred to Nick to bring it into his apartment? (No, he did not think it was important and said that no one would take a bike in the bushes that had no seat and a bent wheel.) Honestly, Nick just smiled and shook his head about the situation. WOW, when you are 21, you think differently than those who are older!
