My new moniker

I just left SWA this afternoon on my bike commute and was waiting at a light to cross Northwest Highway. In the lane to my right is the line of cars waiting to turn right. Next to me is a big truck with a burly Mexican dude in it. I nod and say hello, as his window is open and he looked over.

It starts "How far ju goeeeng?"
"26 miles or so."
"Eeen one day?"
"Yup, one way. I rode in this morning the same mileage."

"Where do you leeeve?"
"Lewisville"
"Lewisville!! Reeeeelyeee??!!"
"Yup"
"Oh leeedy! Ju haarrre whan creeezy gringa!!!"

I guffawed and he laughed with me. I caught myself chuckling to myself a couple times on the ride home.

So now I'm the creeezy gringa!
