Walking/Running Man

Last month on the OBX, members discussed a legendary walking man spotted not only around Olney but also in other parts of Maryland and even DC. The first writer described this man as having blond hair…. then another person thought the man had blond dreadlocks… and finally someone thought this walking man was an Asian guy with dreadlocks!  This discussion reminded me of the Asian male who frequently ran around the greater Olney area during the summer of 2009 – naked except for sneakers.
Gray-haired Asian streaker

At that time, my husband -- who is Asian -- also jogged, sometimes shirtless. So whenever he ran in nearby woods, any thicket and undergrowth blocked the lower half of his body and shorts… making him look like the streaker. Whenever he jogged in the neighborhood streets alongside parked cars, shrubbery and garbage cans, anyone on the sidewalk would see only his bare chest. I joked with friends that my husband was the Asian streaker.  

Eventually the naked Asian runner (not my husband!) was apprehended by a friend of mine (a clothed female runner).
