The strange people you run into

Its easy to run into strange people. Theyre all over the place. Theres this one that lives on my street. Around the time that i come home shes doing something that sounds like a near impossible feat. See the thing is she makes a lot of noise. The kind of noise you make if youre hauling twice your body weight for six blocks. Or having really weird sex. But she does this when shes just walking too. The first time i encountered it i asked her if she was ok. She was just fine. She just makes a lot of loud noises. I ignore her now. I just hope she never actually needs any help since i dont think anyone would know something was out of the ordinary.

I think I've mentioned this before, but once, while talking a walk in the woods with Blonde American Teacher (and, alas, some students) we came across a man in a leathery looking cowl and robe, standing off the track, with two two large German shepherds on leads, on either side of him.

We decided a brisk walk back to town was a good idea.

I still want to know what was up with that, though.  The highest settlement on the mountain was the one we'd left from, and the ski lift to reach the summit was on the other side of town from where we were.  The only thing of note along the path we were going was a nice spot where you could look down onto Lake Geneva from.  The rest was just trees and extremely steep slopes, both ways.

Yeah id find that a tad unsettling too. Did you ever run into him again?

No.  Not dressed like that, anyway.  I couldn't really make out his features, and it was summer, in a tourist town.  And I was drinking in a lot of bars.  I could have easily met him without all that on and not known.

BAT thought it was a great premise for a story.  But then, she thinks everything is (then again, that's why her scripts are getting attention from actual television companies).

I was sitting next to a cop in traffic the other day, and this guy wanders onto the median a ways ahead, drops his pants, and takes a big steaming crap.  I look over, and the cop is killing himself laughing.

Ah, Tucson.  How do I love thee?

We had a guy go to the library flash and a woman in her 80's. The cops said they'd been looking for him, for flashing women at the Silver Center (which is exactly what it sounds like, an old people hangout).  :horrormirth:

I was on the green line once (of course it would be on the green line) and there was this guy sitting across from me. Suddenly he clutched his head like something terrible was happening to him and he flailed his feet around. Then back to normal. And then again. Back to normal. And then again. I was hoping that he wouldnt get off at the same stop as me. I got off to catch a connecting train and so did he. Then he came up to me and politely asked the time. I told him. He thanked me and walked away clutching his head like a man tormented by demons.

The other day I was down at the Superfund site with Space Ninja, and a couple of pleasant-looking men with machetes and a big black garbage back with something heavy in it came walking by.

And the cop didnt do anything? :lulz:

He was stuck in traffic, too...And if he'd gotten out of his car, he'd have snarled up traffic in a hospital zone for 2 hours, which he'd have to undo.

So, balance that against some random freak taking a poop.

It worked out so he could take it as comic relief and not some pain in the ass job detail.

Add to that the fact that the entire desert floor is carpeted with coyote poop, and you'll understand why it's not really a big deal.
