I could never understand something like that.

While working as a mechanic in a quarry for 45 years I tried, sometimes in vain, to keep the sink in the shop cleaner than that. Thing is up till last year we did not have hot water so that made washing up not the neatest thing when you are working in a very dirty area.

I saw a little old fella on a R6 wearing one of those little beanie helmets with no face protection in 4 degree (celsius) temperature on wet streets. 8) What a legend. He did go left through the intersection at a rather leisurely pace.

Dental Floss
I was sitting alone and people watching in the atrium of a large teaching hospital, where various food/beverage kiosks, shops, and the cafeteria are located. Tables for two, four, eight, and much more, are located throughout the area, as well as comfortable seating. Hospital employees, patients and families, all mingle in this area to unwind.

I noticed four people at a table, obviously co-workers, having lunch. Three women, one man. Next thing I see, is the man has about a 2 foot piece of dental floss between his fingers. He begins and continues to floss his teeth as his three co-workers continue to chat. He flossed every last tooth and re-wrapped his floss around his fingers every so often. REALLY???? UGH!!! Seriously??? The three women did not seem to mind!?????

Don't get me wrong - I am a real proponent of flossing - but, at a lunch table with three others, in a public area??? Think not!!! Respective restroom or office!!!

Am I missing something????

Saw a Québec license plate on a large van in remote Michoacán, Mexico. Not actually all that weird, just exceptional. Lots of reasons for long drives, after all.

What was weird, was driving in Mexico city today behind a pesero (a mid-sized public bus here), with not only a Texas license plate, but a handicapped one

I live in a city. A small city, but a city none the less. Leaving the grocery store we glanced over at the bus stop and saw a couple of people in the bus shelter waiting for the bus. With. A. Goat. That's right, A goat on a leash, waiting for the bus. I wish I could have stayed and seen the look on the bus drivers face.

K2 there's a guy up the street that has 2 goats. He walks them on our bike path Their not bad walking with a leash. Laughing emoticon Don't think he's tried to get them on the bus but they'd probably let him. Gotta love Hawaii.

Judy, they had it slung to one side, didnt see whether they had a rack or if it was just tied on haphazardly. Its not an uncommon site at the beach, but I suppose the cop thought that doing it along a busy arterial route miles from the nearest surf was pushing it!

A MotoGP racer's day saved by a stolen scooter.

"I made a mistake in qualifying and crashed on the second lap. The marshals were a bit far away, and I saw a scooter with a key in it and nobody around. When I took it, I saw that it belonged to a photographer, but he let me go. I wanted to get back to the pit as soon as possible, so honestly I would've taken it even if he said no!"

The video is pretty funny, especially because he instinctively flips down his visor right before he guns it.
