Things that made me laugh this morning

1. I saw a guy riding his Rascal (you know, electric powered "wheelchair" like from the commercials - "Next year, I'm going to the GRAND CANYON!") in the street. Like, next to a car. And then he turned at the light onto another street.

2. This sign on the bus. I don't know if you can read the sentence under atencion! but it says something like "miren antes de cruzar la calle." Which I KNOW must mean look before crossing the street, but in my head, it seems more like look before cruising the street. I know you are impressed with my Spanish reading abilities. My Spanish reading has greatly improved from living in my neighborhood, which is primarily Spanish speaking. My Spanish speaking, on the other hand, still consists of me being able to order food, count to 29, and the ability to tell people that I don't speak Spanish.

3. The number of people lined up for an "Estate Sale" that I passed on the walk to the bus stop. I suppose it's possible someone in my neighborhood has really nice stuff they want to sell off at an estate sale - heck, someone has to own the super expensive row houses that normal people can't afford. But it still made me laugh. They were blocking the sidewalk! And it reminded me that if I were to die, and someone had an estate sale of my house, I hope the buyers like paperback books and yarn, 'cause that's about all I've got. And it reminded me of the time my friend Adri and I went to an estate sale in San Antonio, and they were selling half used bottles of shampoo and boxes of Kleenex! We didn't buy anything.
