Thursday Two Questions Meme - Oddities

-

Normally I Would Say Click Photos To Enlarge
However In This Case, I Doubt You'd Want To See These Up Close :D







For some time now this "carpeted car" has been displayed on a wheeled platform out here in my neighborhood about a block away from my apartment. Now, in San Francisco oddities such as this are normal. Most people walk by it without even a glance. I, however, wanted to get photos and bring it to you today.

My two questions are:

1. Do you see oddities such as this car in your neighborhood?

2. What is the weirdest thing you've seen in your neighborhood?

Our city ordinance won't allow things like this even on our driveway. They have worker drives around and ticket you if your broken car is parked too long.

That's one odd and strange looking carpeted car.

1- I don't really see any oddities in my neighborhood here or where I grew up.

2- The weirdest thing we have in our neighborhood is an ice cream truck... and so I'd consider us a pretty normal neighborhood!

I have always wanted to visit San Fran!

Icy, there are people that park their cars in and around Golden gate park for weeks on end and no one ever does anything. It really is a strange one but normal for my part of the world :D

Brenda,I would love to see ice creams trucks here although I'd be spending all my money on the ice cream :) You should come visit one of these days.

1) I had the same thought about how they could get away with parking the car there. The neighborhoods I am familiar with will call the cops for any parking issues. They don't even like to have neighbors' cars parking in front of their curbs.
2) I am very focus, or distracted...therefore I don't observe much outside of what I need to do. There isn't much around where we live that is abnormal. But occasionally I would see strange graffiti- something I would say: why would anyone risk the trouble and waste the time?

The carpeted car is definitely odd. Where we live now I don't any oddities in our neighborhood but occasional around town. There is a rather strange vehicle I see around town sometimes. It is all different colors and has things like cow horns, dolls, etc glued to the body.

1. Hmmm...I don't think so...we're a conservative city...my family is the oddest family on the block...or is that wingnuts?? LOL...something like that anyhows!

2. The people are weird...no seriously, we have an insane asylum in this city and when they let them folks out for the day...OH ME...OH MY...they are the strangest lot of folks you could imagine...

That is so cool and weird :)

LOL, how interesting. I've been trying to come up with a reason why one would own something like this, or create something like this, or display it. You poor thing. In your neighborhood, you say. I live in the most boring neighborhood, nothing so flashy. :(

I am laughing so much at rainfield's statement! I must say, though, you live in a very interesting neighborhood, Jo. We have gotten some downright outrageous pictures around there...though who am I to talk. Mine is equally as bizarre!

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
