Not today, but yesterday. I saw two squirrels in my yard, one grey and one black, chasing each other around and playing. It was like that bit in Sword in the Stone almost exactly! Until the grey squirrel fell off a lower-hanging pine tree limb and fell into the ditch. That made me laugh pretty hard. He was okay, though.

10 different pickups driving down the bike path through the historic site. Setting up for a festival is no reason to block the bike path during the morning commute jerkwads.

There's a house a few blocks away from me (in Pittsburgh) that has two penguins in their front yard- cut out of wood and painted. The penguins are making some serious lovey eyes at each other, and I've been trying to decide if this was originally in support of gay marriage and has been repurposed to be in support of the hockey team.

Seen both today and yesterday at the marina: a heavyset guy riding a bike with the bicycle equivalent of monster tires.

My first baby Bambi sightings of the summer! It was a doe and twin spotted fawns, and one of the fawns was keeping up pretty well with her, but the other made me wonder how they don't get lost all the time. The mother had slipped around a corner and had long disappeared before that second dumb baby of hers decided to prance along after her. But I guess it was fine, because it managed to follow her trail reasonably effortlessly. (The whole scene would have been a lot cuter if this deer family hadn't been making its way through a sliver of a hole in someone's deer fencing. Off for their morning feast on that person's foundation plantings, I guess.)

Lots and lots of classic cars, show cars, rat rods, and antique cars on I -70 eastbound. Turns out it was some cross country road rally involving at least 2000 vehicles. I talked to one of the drivers at a gas station, and if I heard him right, they came down rt 66 to St. Louis and we're heading to Indy for a car show at the speedway.

A couple of hours ago, we went to a little cafe just off the interstate to eat supper. When we got our table, there was a pickup truck out in the lot, parked just outside our window. At first, the only thing I noticed about it was that it had backed in, and it looked like someone was sitting in it.
Pretty soon, a cop walks up to the driver's side window, says something to the driver, and gets out his ticket book.
A few minutes after that, a guy in shorts and a tank top comes by walking a dog. "Nice doggy" GF says, but by then the guy is directing the dog to sniff around the vehicle. "That's a K9 unit dog" says I.
The dog must have signified, or testified, or whatever they cop dogs do, because things got really interesting after that. A third cop car shows up, with another cop. By now, Cop #1 has the driver out of the truck, talking to him, and cop #3 gets the female passenger outside, trying to search her without touching her, I guess. He had her pull the front of her shirt out from her stomach a little and shake it. Nothing fell out that I could see.
A waitress cleaning the next table says "We don't get much interesting like this happening around here very often", and I resisted the urge to ask "Just what kind of shady clientele do you guys serve here?"
A fourth cop car with a fourth cop pulls in, with his lights going. Cop #1 and the K9 unit guy are talking to the driver and passenger, and cops 3 and 4 are searching everything in the truck, the cab area, truck bed and stuff in it, her purse, and so on.
I said to GF "They gotta be from outta state."
By then, everybody in the cafe is standing at the windows watching the proceedings. We watched till we were done eating. The cops were still rummaging through the truck when we left.
Sure enough, the truck had out of state plates.

I saw a guy (early 20s) wearing nothing but athletic shorts sitting on his third-floor window ledge, talking on his phone. This is in a downtown apartment above commercial space -- nothing but hard pavement beneath him. While it was a relatively thick ledge-like window sill -- probably projecting 8-10 inches from the wall -- it still looked pretty precarious. No railings. Nothing to hold onto except the bricks around the window itself and the edge of the ledge. And he was just all out there, legs dangling three stories above the sidewalk. I actually paused to consider if he might actually be a potential jumper, but it seemed pretty clear he was just having a good summerday funtime in the way someone destined for the Darwin Awards might do.

A truck with a shitload of right-wing bumper stickers. Along with an "I don't care if you're offended sticker", there was one that read "White, strait [sic], and conservative. How else can I offend you?" Fuck, I wish it had been December and I'd seen the driver themself, because it would have been so great to see them inevitably get offended after telling him "Happy holidays" and then telling them I don't care if they're offended.

Speaking of political bumper stickers. I saw a sticker of a hand giving the finger with the word "Trump" on the middle finger. At first I thought it was a negative stocker against Trump, but now I'm not sure.

Pretty sure I saw a drug deal. A guy was walking down the sidewalk in Montreal and then all the sudden walks into the street. A copper coloured Dodge(Chevy?) with the driver side window open pulled up slowly and he pulled a small package out of his pocket, put his hand in the window, and then kept going. It all happened in less than a minute and the guy only stopped walking for a few seconds. Long enough to leave what he was delivering and presumably (he was blocking the view with his body) collect money and then he kept walking across the street. Not a word was said, and the middle-aged looking woman driving the car just kept driving on.
I wanted to yell "GOT THAT WMD!"

Today I met an old man whose nickname is 'Two-Cane Joe' (because he walks with two canes, duh). He told me to call him that! He had a thick Eastern-European accent, and a big smile with one perfect tooth, top and front. I didn't say 'Gummy Joe, where would you be without the dental plan??' but I wanted to! Anyway, he's my new best friend. |

Two state troopers escorting an 18-wheeler that basically was carrying a box that looked about 6 or 8 feet on all sides. Made me wonder what was in the box.
