What unusual sight have you seen recently?

I live in Florida. How much time have you got?

Our local radio station has a whole daily bit dedicated to weird things in Florida!

Well, to be honest, if I hadn't had something to use, I probably woudn't have touched him with my bare hands.  Up close, those crow claws are HUGE!

I'm actually related to a "Florida Man." 

While driving into work, I saw a large pickup truck do a multi-roll and land on its roof. Luckily, the people in the truck (man, woman and two kids) were okay. Turns out, the driver of the truck was cut off by one of two cars that were playing chase on the freeway. One driver ended up being arrested for vehicular assault. I see WAY too many people goofing around on the freeway these days, especially in heavy traffic. They drive like they are in a video game.

DD and I were driving, about to pass a shopping plaza that has a Dunkin’ on the end, close to the road. It was raining, and we saw something in the road ahead so stopped. It was a duck, waddling across the road, to meet a CHICKEN that was on the side of the road right in front of Dunks. Maybe they had a coffee date? We just looked at each other like “did we just see that?” 🤣🤣🤣

So my office is on the 2nd floor in downtown Denver. I have windows ceiling to floor so I have a view of the street. Daily I get a fair share of weirdness..

- homeless people doing whatever they do... we have the screamer that walks by daily.. he likes to just scream and yell out the F word.
- a guy in an electric wheelchair daily flying by with the flag waving behind me.. not really 'that' weird.
- our windows on the 1st floor have that covering over it so people can't see in, but they use it for a mirror.. So the guy below me with the street view gets to see all the people putting their makeup on, or adjusting themselves (boobs/pants/whatever).. it's pretty hilarious.
- people line up for various concerts because there is a small concert venue next door.. usually something on the weird side. There are always very interesting looking people standing along side the building
- then the tour groups that go by on the Segway's.. lol ... usually dad in Dockers, mom and kid following behind.

That's all in a day..

keithurbanlovinpea ~ I live very close to the downtown in my city.  Also way down the street is a homeless shelter.  My condo is on the corner of a main road so access to the highway is only a few minutes away.

I see many things from my 12th floor window ~ a homeless man arguing with a big industrial garbage can and most of the time the can loses.  I then call the city about the mess and they send out someone to clean this up.

There is also a *concert venue* across the street, down the road a bit.  See some very interesting people wearing unusual clothing.  Sometimes there is a flea market there and they sell some weird stuff.  I can see the cops in their cars having conversations behind the variety store.  They must think that no one can see them, but I do.

There was a van that had colourful magnets all over the van, very colourful magnets like the souvenir type.

North of the USA, in Canada, the province of Ontario and very close to Buffalo, NY.

The unusual thing I've seen today is an American using the word "u-ey".  I thought for sure that this was an Aussie slang term! (Except we say "I chucked a u-ey.")

I saw an old white hearse pulling a camper today.

In Saturday, I went to Ulta and held the door open for a teenage girl. She had a backpack on, and as she walked by me, I saw it was one of those clear pet holders. Inside was a pigeon.
Today, I walked by a loud homeless guy holding a large rock, yelling loudly to no one. By the time I saw the rock, it was too late to turn back (I was already in rock throwing range). I just winced as I walked by and hoped he didn’t throw it. He didn’t! Yay.

On Saturday we watched the river we live on here in Juneau change shape as.we.watched. The view we've had for more than 9 years now is completely changed as has the river itself. We couldn't see a single house from our deck before, just river and trees. Now we can see five, two of which are overhanging the river and one that's likely to be if they can't address their bank very soon.

We helped our next door neighbors clear their patio and then their house in fear that it might go in. The house past them did go in. We're very, very fortunate that our bank held because of where we are on the river's bend.

Google Mendenhall River flood for some mind-boggling video. Thankfully there was no loss of life and most of the houses might be salvageable.

We all know, rationally, what moving water can do, but seeing it and the aftermath... still shaking a bit.
