We smile at things that are funny, of course, but also perhaps at things that are just weird...
Andy, one of my employees, and I were sweeping up debris in front of my store this morning. A beautiful sunny morning, by the way. Traffic on Main Street was moving slowly; in fact, most vehicles had stopped for the light. All but one car, which slammed into the back of a towtruck, sending bits of the plastic front end all over the road. Steam rose from the battered radiator and the hood was crushed back for a foot or two. The driver of the car, a man neither young nor old appearing to me, and wearing a coat and tie, calmly backed up a few feet, swung around his car parts lying in the street, and drove on as if nothing had happened.
The 10 or 15 or 20 people standing around that intersection---the mostly young black women heading for the hotels to do the cleaning; the medical students heading to the UVA hospital right behind me; the Hispanic guys doing the landscaping at the new building across the street, and Andy and I all smiled and laughed and talked. Not because it was funny, but rather at the absurdity of what we had, as a group, just seen This guy had just killed his car and he drove off, just as casual as he could be.
He probably got another block or so before the engine seized up. -rjb-
I was late to an appointment early this morning, and was going probably 5 miles over the speed limit, when I drove past a police car where the officer was obviously monitoring traffic. He immediately activated his lights, and pulled out behind me. As the officer walked to my door, I observed him in the side mirror as he approached, and recognized him as an officer I had run into in the courtroom on several occasions.
Upon arriving at my window, he looked at me, smiled, and patting me on the shoulder, said "See ya later," and walked back to his cruiser. I continued on, more slowly, to my appointment.
ha, tico, that is funny!
i got an email from nimh. He is settling down in Budapest, got to meet all his coworkers, and generally seems very happy there in the heart of europe.
I can't believe a cop pulled you over for going only 5mph over the speed limit.
Today, I got more attention from females than I have in my whole life.
It was a group of at least 10 of them, all waving, laughing, saying hi and trying to get my attention when I was at an intersection on my Silver Bullet.
(uh, they were like 6, 7 years old).
5 miles! Pffft!
Slappy, trolling the elementary school again?
My neice and nephew had a play frenzy this afternoon. It was surreal. My upstairs neighbors brought down a couple of bags of toy cars and a piece of styrofoam for them to play with. One grumpy, shy 5.5 year old and one hadn't-slept-enough-1.5 year old went NUTS over those cars. There was little bits of styrofoam swirling around everywhere......
Today my article is in the paper! Yay, go me!

Yea, not much action at the junior high. You know how it is.
Yeah, slap, by then they start to get wise to people like you.
SME - one of the main Slovak dailies.
Must be difficult to discuss your article in the midst of Slappy's pedophilic adventures.
You've been published, Dag?! That is wonderful news! We must celebrate!

Picturing the fantasies blind kids masturbate too...lol still makes me chuckle
Do you think the masturbate to abstract images in their mind or sounds?
Passing by the statue of Imre Nagy by Parliament. It's the cutest litle monument: a little green bridge, with him, standing on it, a frail, dignified figure.
Two elderly, healthily-sized women were there too. One was taking a picture of the other, in fact, as she stood on the bridge with Nagy, her arm slung jovially around his shoulder. "Chorosho!" the other woman enthused, and clicked. Russian women.
You gotta wonder: did they know who the man was? Was it a touching gesture of reconciliation, of substitute regret, or did they just think: cute statue, gotta have a picture! We were here!
Either way, cute ;-)
:-D
Good to see you here, how's the move going?
Sme, thats pretty big. Congrats Dag!

Oh man ... my sis discovered a bag full of my old toy cars somewhere in the still-unsorted pile of stuff from home in the wall-closet. The kid's been obsessed since. When I was packing my stuff to take to Bp, I found a bag and box full of further toy cars and gave them along to my sis ... my nephew's been in a frenzy since, she says! Even when he goes to bed, lies in his cot-bed-thing, he still mutters on about cars, gesturing and repeating "car, car" - he doesnt want to do anything else! She brought him to the phone when I called her the other day, and (not speaking much yet), he only called out, "uncle, car that!"
