Common Oddities

So at the beginning of our drive back from Colorado Springs to Flagstaff, I saw a very fat Chihuahua curled up sleeping behind the neck of a driver. At that moment I knew it was going to be a very strange trip and began to keep a list of weird things we saw. Here are the results.

Common Oddities:
  1. Fat Chihuahua curled up sleeping behind driver's neck
  2. Llamas!
  3. 2nd Chihuahua sitting on its driver's lap
  4. A three man band playing on the access road running parallell to the highway. It was in the middle of nowhere and there was no audience.
  5. A moose with wings on a truck mudflap
  6. Flashing signs in New Mexico that said: Superblitz! Cinco De Mayo. Cops everywhere!
  7. A cow that turned its head to watch us as we passed by
  8. A herd of broken down vans clustered in the woods
  9. A cresent moon (I think that's the proper term) that appeared to eclipse. It was in fact only a fake eclipse (fauxclipse), but we still don't know what obscured it from vision.
  10. The tuxedoed gentleman in the parking lot when we dropped off Dahlia:

Tuxedo man: "Did you guys just come back from a trip?"

Dahlia: "Yeah, we just got back from camp in Colorado Springs."

Tuxedo man: "That's cool."

Dahlia: "Where are you off to?" (referring to his garb)

Tuxedo man: "Oh I don't really know. My life is an adventure right now. I don't really know where I'm headed next. "

Dahlia: "So you're just dressed in a tuxedo for no reason?"

Tuxedo man: "No, I was a groomsman in a wedding earlier today. Hopefully I can find my friend now."

Dahlia: "Oh, good luck with that."

Tuxedo man: "Thanks" (he walks off into the night)

Krista (to Dahlia): "Do you know him?"

Dahlia: "No."

It was an interesting trip indeed. :)
