Someone with no sense of irony. The blue border at the bottom wrapped around the entire vehicle, and I saw at least one more "Play Ball Naked" decal near the drivers door. It's Alberta, good taste ends at the border (unless it's the Saskatchewan border) Hey wait a second now! As an Albertan...Yeah. You're right.

I feel like I could overwhelm this thread since it's fringe right now but:

There is a man who waits with his wife until the commuter train comes every morning to see her off, and they always bring their little terrier with them. He just likes to sit in the driver's side window of their pickup truck and quietly watch people go by. And he has a little red vest!

I adore hummingbirds. When we fill up the feeder in our backyard, we get enough of them that it gets emptied within a few days.
Sadly our condo complex also has a problem with wasps lately, and they like the sugar water too, so we stopped filling it.

Sadly our condo complex also has a problem with wasps lately, and they like the sugar water too, so we stopped filling it. I see them very rarely, so it's always SUPER exciting to spot one. When we lived in Arizona we had a lot more of them, and one late afternoon, when the sun was getting low on the horizon and casting loooong shadows, a hummingbird came to the hibiscus in our backyard. And managed to get itself positioned just right between the sun and the big wall in the back of the yard... so that its shadow was, like, eight feet tall. It was hilarious. This ENORMOUS hummingbird shadow, like some kind of prehistoric awesomeness visiting the edge of our pool.

Drove home from today's job by way of the Historic National Road. I saw abandoned motels and gas stations, signs saying "Moo Cow Mountain", "JESUS" and "Gretchen Wilson Park", and A red convertible for sale....

I longingly looked at the steam vents on the adjacent roof because they won't let me outside.

A jaywalking girlchild of perhaps eight years of age struck by a speeding delivery truck, hurled through the air and sent crashing to the pavement. Some time later an ambulance arrived and I saw the child move her leg and attempt to sit up as she was placed on the stretcher. For a time, though, I was certain that I had seen someone die.

A couple days ago (so this may be cheating) but I was passed on I-90 by an orange sports car, with a giant Aladdin Sane graphic covering the back window of the car, and the license plate BOWIE. Whatever guy (or woman, or androgynous spaceperson) owns that is clearly living their best life.

I wish I could get a decent picture, but the house in question sits fairly far back from the street. I think someone in our neighborhood may be breeding or intentionally feeding raccoons. I walk by this place between 8-9 pm many nights when walking the dog and there are consistently 4 to 7 raccoons just hanging out on the front deck thing of the house, chilling and having snacks.

A woman driving a red pick-up truck with the front license plate spot taken up by a confederate flag plate. This in Canada. I wanted to follow her until she parked and then politely ask if she was from the U.S., and if not if she knew what that symbol meant. Then I realized that was insane.

Across the street, on the property of the high school, by my place someone abandoned a mattress. I can't really see it from the house so I tend to forget about it until I go to open the gate. Now someone has abandoned other trash like a laundry hamper full of palm fronds and a coffee maker.
Knowing this neighborhood all that junk is probably going to be lit on fire before the county gets off it's ass and hauls it to the dump.

There's something so deliciously random about a laundry hamper full of palm fronds.
