I saw a lady in high heels and a pink dressing gown in the local supermarket last weekend.
I didn't want to ask.

Sitting in the airport in Mexico City today people-watching while waiting for our flight. Couldn't help but notice two young lovelies walking down the ramp wearing sashes. One of them clearly said "Miss Teen Canada."

Not weird but definitely odd...You don't usually see a line of Lamborghinis when you walk out of a restaurant in Salt Lake City.

I didn't have the guts to stop and take a photo, but last week I was riding past a local park and I saw a furry picnic. As in, all the participants were dressed in furry mascot style costumes. A group of about 20 were lined up for a photo near the picnic tables. Two more were in the parking lot, and one was smoothing the other one's fur down.

It's rodeo time in Prescott, AZ, so I went to the parade yesterday. I saw a cowboy riding a Metropolitan (so scooter related), No big deal, right? Well, he had a rocking pony head on the headset, a tail on the back, and a saddle in place of the seat! Wish I had my camera.

Just hope he was able to get a bit of meat off it for all his effort! |

Today I was on 16th street in midtown Sacramento. It's a 3-4 lane one way road headed north. I was looking around at the cars around me, making sure no one was going to merge suddenly into me and my lane. I had noticed the parked bus off of the right lane and didn't think much of it until I heard the impact.
Immediatly I start rolling off the throttle and look over to see a car moving forward past the bus. They paused, I noticed most of their right review mirror on the ground. Then they sped up and drove off. A few blocks later they turned right and I saw what remained of the mirror dangling and a few scraps/small dent on the right front fender. That's right folks, this lady hit a PARKED BUS!!! |

Not as much "weird," but more "random." My thoughts wandered to MV, in a parking lot, and, thought how Froggie and even Sticky are doing? The "weird shit" is I thought of them in this parking lot; I took a picture of the plate; and I posted the picture of the plate.

My husband and I are riding to meet a bunch of scooter enthusiasts and this car pulls out of a side street in front of us. After a few moments, we see what looks like a balled up rag fall out of its undercarriage. The rag unfolds its self, sprouts legs then runs to the side of the road and disappeares. WTF!?!
Apparently, a young cat was taking a nap up in there! Surprisingly, I saw this exact thing happen with a squirrel last summer. |

Barbershop Bear
I'm not certain whether or not this qualifies as truly weird shit, but in the barbershop (in Grants Pass, Oregon) where I get my haircut, I saw...a bear. A small one, but a real one...lounging atop a large and handy tree branch. What was he doing in a barbershop? Well...it's a long story...but I think he had just gotten the full beauty/makeover treatment and was relaxing afterwards : - )

Scrolling through the home page of CNN.com just now, saw this photo of some random dude, who apparently is in some random television show.

If you don't know who that is... if you REALLY don't know who that is.
Perhaps it's best that you just steer clear... |
