Interesting day

This has been a kind of interesting day. I was conducting site visits to project areas I’m work on. This means I’m basically driving over a very large portion of the city. As I’m driving along I notice things abandoned and laying around, like shoes, shirts, pants, a hat. And it gets to wondering…. are there people out there walking around naked? Why would people simply abandon a perfectly good pair of shoes or pants?

Also while I was out, I had to make a restroom stop. I typically choose fast food restaurants for these stops since they usually keep their facilities clean and well stocked. I had the miss fortune of being in the stall minding my own business, when the restroom was invaded by a horde of teen aged girls in the middle of a drama meltdown. Ohmygawd! They were so loud and high pitched I thought my filling would fall out and the paint would peal off the walls. I just sat there, through the ex-boyfriend in the dining room/ oh no she didn’t fest, thinking if I could just figure out how to use all that energy for good!

When I got back to my desk I look up and see a huge black cloud boiling up from between the building about 6 blocks over. It’s clear something is burning. No sooner then it start, it was gone. Just one gigantic billowing black cloud. I jumped onto the local news station’s websites, but nothing. I guess I’ll have to wait to find out what it was. Not too long before the cloud appeared there had been a news helicopter circling the area. Maybe they missed it. Who knows? Obviously not the news station or they would have kept their helicopter in the air for filming.

Like a said a kind of interesting day and it’s not over yet.

Clouds

This morning I noticed a couple of clouds out my work window that looked like a pair of quotation marks. I kept waiting for the message but if it came I was already busy doing something and missed it. I notice clouds often, and have for pretty much all my life. When I was a kid it was always great fun to lie in the grass and see what kinds of things I could make of clouds.

Have you ever notice how some times there is a clear blue sky and only one cloud? It always makes me wonder if aliens are using it to hide from us. Because, it really seems that if there is one cloud there really should be others to go with it. Clouds are, generally speaking, pack creatures. What do you call a group of clouds? How about a wiffy?

Back to my quotation marks, who would be talking to us from the sky? God? Possibly. Aliens? Maybe. An English proper skywriter? Highly unlikely.
