Re: Weird stuff seen on your Commute?
A weird and stupid thing today. Passed a people carrier type minivan, that was parked up. It had a large wooden row-boat stapped to the roof, it pretty much covered the whole roof.
The stupid thing? It was secured by 3 stretch/bungee cords! All it had to do was lose one cord or have one snap, (they were pretty thin), and the whole thing would have shot of the roof. Wooden row boats are pretty heavy! Thinking about it I actually should have said something - hmmmmmm

A vibrator on the side of the road-I thought it was a flashlight at first glance. Wrong size? Wrong color?

Re: Weird stuff seen on your Commute?
I too pick up all kinds of good stuff, affectionately referred to as road kill. This was one that I passed on.

Re: Weird stuff seen on your Commute?
This is about hiking, but it's kind of the same thing:

Re: Weird stuff seen on your Commute?
Depends on what you classify as 'weird'......
Half a fast-food meal, syringes, condoms and similar debris that comes with living near what our mayor likes to describe as a 'cultural corridor' are daily par for the course. So are car bumpers (where'd the car go?), tires, shoes (usually only 1...), clothes in varying stages of dirtiness and degradation, dead Prairie Dogs, Jackrabbits, Coyotes, etc. Certainly the most startling item I've seen on a (driving) 'commute' would have been an upright refrigerator, standing right there in the middle lane of a freeway interchange ramp. Standing upright, closed, as if ready to plug in and use. Fortunately, I was paying attention...... |
