Post Script To Today
Here's something that falls into the "I can't believe I just saw that" category. I'm taking my daughters out to eat and we're traveling along Poplar Street at a good clip. We get almost to the last stop light before turning onto the main road when we spot something out in the road up ahead. It seems to be a huge, white, crinkly sack (one of those big ones that you carry your humongous purchases in like you get in the mall.) Anyway, the sack appears to be full of air as if a big puff of wind were propelling it along but as we get closer, we see that a tire is in the sack and it's rolling along at a good clip. The car ahead of us has to stop to let the tire cross the road and the tire ramps up the hill into a tire place. Pretty soon we see a guy casually walking out of the garage of the tire store and he proceeds to follow the tire. He sees that his casual gait isn't doing the job and he begins to speed up his pace. He's acting like he hopes no one sees this, kind of like when you trip over something and casually look around to see if anyone saw you. So now he's loping after this tire in its giant white sack and the tire is trying to roll itself across the parking lot headed toward 3rd Street. The guy doesn't want it to roll onto 3rd Street because it would be in major traffic so he has a burst of speed and finally catches the silly thing. The tire seemed to roll faster the closer he got.
It was funny because the tire seemed to have an idea of where it wanted to go. It never fell over and it stayed in that huge sack the whole time. It look like someone had purchased it and the tire store had put it in this sack and then handed it to the customer so they could just carry it out. I have never seen such a huge sack nor have I seen a tire in a sack. The tire was not small either. Everyone was laughing. Once the guy caught the tire, he continued to act as if it was just part of his job to chase a tire in a huge sack. My daughter said she saw the tire come out of McDonald's parking lot and cross the street. I didn't see it until it was in the middle of the street.
Go figure!
