Or maybe all neighborhoods are weird and I just never realized it before. Mark, from down the block came over this afternoon and asked to borrow my colander - his somehow got lost and he needed one so he could finish his teryaki sauce. He was wearing it on his head when he left. This is the same guy hubbys suspects is trying to seduce me with rotissere chicken. Does giving someone 10 marinated chickens sound like seduction to you?

Early in the morning, you can see Mike and Elizabeth walking their pets. I occasionally hook up with them and walk along. Mike has Maggie, the sweater wearing pug and Elizabeth walks around with a cockatoo on her shoulder, looking like she just got off the set of Baretta or something, sometimes she also has Harley, a macaw, perched on her arms. Harley has been known to bark at dogs. These are just a few of the people who make my life interesting. Eventually, I suppose I'll have to put them in my books.
