TinyPic won't let me upload the picture I took, because it is simply so filthy. But a store has opened in the mall nearby, and here is their logo grabbed off their website.   Gonna go shopping at the phallus store, I have to pick up a big package. |

a few months ago I thought I saw an older gentleman, maybe in his 70s, practicing riding a bike in a parking lot, on my way to work. As a person who just started riding a bike after 2.5 decades of not touching one, I recognized the signs. The sitting there with on foot on the peddle, psyching yourself up to take the other foot off the ground and push off on the bike. the walking on your tiptoes while going from straddling the bike to sitting to straddling it again. Peddling properly and then freaking out and immediately putting both feet on the ground.
Today, I saw him cycling by all the morning traffic, in a casual manner, up the street. He did it! Yay!

Never seen them before - these fallases are popping up everywhere! |

No phalluses, unfortunately, but I did see an owl!
(That's such a sad sentence.)

This was technically outside; as I was entering Wawa, a gentleman was exiting.
Every bit of visible skin on this gentleman, including his neck, face, and bald skull, was covered in blue puzzle-piece tattoos.

I've never seen an owl I hear them all the time (including a screeching barn owl, which is the most annoying thing ever), but have only seen one twice. Both in exactly the same spot. But many years apart. I hope that was, like, the first owl's grandkid that I saw yesterday... |

Was sitting at a red light and this truck came around the corner and dropped all these mirrors. It was a nervous split second before I saw they and the glass would stop well short of me. Seconds after this pic a bus came around the corner and casually drove over them.  |

He was even in an episode of the X-Files! Unless of course some lame-o copied his whole-body tattoo idea. |

I have no idea what he was doing at this little Wawa, unless like most people he was traveling on I-95 and just stopped off to grab gas and something to eat. Wild. I had no idea he was famous! |

Yesterday, county fair edition: A demolition derby. (I had forgotten how much fun they were, a bunch of friends went as a group), another little kids Power Wheels demo derby (they seem to be becoming quite popular) and a guy wearing a "Drunk as Fuck" t shirt.

A vintage Triumph convertible, driven by an elderly, gray-haired couple that refused to go more than 20 mph in a 40 mph zone. And which stopped at every cross-street, including driveways. I was late getting back to work after a long lunch, and was apoplectic with rage at how mind-meltingly slowly they were going; perhaps their open roof and coasting speed made it possible to hear me screaming at them even with all of my windows closed? Because they did eventually pull over to let me and the eight people piled up behind me pass them...
...Only we were stymied by the fact that immediately in front of them was another vintage Triumph convertible driven by an elderly, gray-haired couple with very similar driving habits. After about a quarter of a mile with a very persistent Prius riding right up on the bumper, they pulled over to let me pass, too. I got a couple of miles down the road before passing yet another vintage Triumph convertible, also driven by an elderly, gray-haired couple, this one fortunately preemptively pulled over. But d'oh! A half mile up the road I got stuck behind a fourth vintage Triumph convertible driven by an elderly, gray-haired couple who also adhered to a 20 mph max speed.
It's a seven-mile drive from lunch back to my office, and I've never seen a vintage Triumph convertible on any of the roads around here before. Suddenly four of them in one day? All driven by elderly couples where the women all had the same haircut and the men all had the same jaunty vintage cap on? What are the chances?? Oh, yeah, google confirms it -- the Vintage Triumph Register Convention is in the area as we speak. Now through Saturday, I can be infuriated by slow moving cars all over town!

Opposite me on the metro, a heavyset man in late middle age who had either just come from, or was on his way to, a judo/karate/whatever class. He had on a jacket claiming 'Newcastle Black Belt Academy', but under that was the traditional garb. He was manspreading, and his no doubt sweaty bollocks were pushing at the gusset of his trousers.
