On the walk to work today I saw a lady carrying a bottle of Hershey's Chocolate Syrup. Not something you see every day. She did have a purse slung over the other arm, so perhaps she was carrying some milk that I couldn't see and was just waiting for the most opportune time to mix them. Maybe she was heading for the Ben and Jerry's store by my office and she'd taken "make your own sundae" a little too literally. Or maybe she was going to meet a hot date, I dunno. But at 9am, I'm gonna go with my first assumption.
I also saw three people in the park doing their martial arts practice. One, by himself, was definitely doing Tai Chi. The other two weren't, though. They seemed to be together - they were performing the same moves, even though they were standing about 30 yards from each other - and I'm guessing that the style was actually some variant of kung fu.
There's currently a fence around the entire park I usually walk through, which is annoying. We've been guessing that they've treated the grass and are trying to keep people off of it. Today, walking around it to the left instead of the right I finally saw a sign that says to pardon their appearance while they "construct improvements to your park." I thought it a particularly odd grammatical construct (pun not intended). I suppose you can "construct improvements", I just never thought of putting those two words together. Nor do I see any construction.
What did you see today?

Actually, I finally saw an example of why drive thru's put that "Clearance 9 feet 6 inches" sign.
A truck was in front of me with a trailer being pulled behind it. On top of the trailer, he had some ladders strapped. Unfortunately, those ladders made it just a bit too tall to get under the overhead "rain shield" over the ordering speaker. Fortunately, I was the only one behind him, so I threw the car in reverse and let him back up so he wouldn't break anything.
Pretty interesting :-) At least I thought so ... :-D
