My bus stop is the most popular in the city

The end of my street has been turned into a movie set tonight, literally. They are shooting what I just Googled to find out is a James L. Brooks romantic comedy scheduled for release in December called How Do You Know? - staring Reese Witherspoon, Owen Wilson (I prefer Luke's acting), and Paul Rudd. Apparently they are in DC for 14 weeks and even took over the baseball stadium for a while.

So, there I am, in the middle of probably 500 people just standing on the street taking pictures and taking cell phone videos. Everyone dressed very nicely as if the director would suddenly spot them and say "Hey, grab them and get them in this scene!" And then there's me - walking my dog (and picking up his poo) wearing dirty sweats, flip flops, a shirt that I only don for gardening, sleeping, cleaning, or dog walking. The only presentable thing about my was the bra that I just happen to still have on which is generally not the case on my evening canine constitutional.

I am no doubt the pride of my neighborhood. The White House has Michelle and AdMo's got me.

Smile!

A man was driving when a traffic camera flashed. He thought his picture was taken for exceeding the speed limit, even though he knew he was not speeding. Just to be sure, he went around the block and passed the same spot, driving even more slowly, but again the camera flashed.. He thought this was quite funny, so he slowed down even further as he drove past the area, but the traffic camera flashed yet again. He tried a fourth time with the same result. The fifth time he was laughing when the camera flashed as he rolled past at a snail's pace.

Two weeks later, he got five traffic citations in the mail for driving without a seat belt on.

A sad, sad day

I finished a book today.
The emptiness of the last page stared back at me. It was like the first few minutes after waking from a dream where you don't quite know where you are but things looks oddly familiar.
We'd spent our mornings, afternoon, and evening together for a month. We went everywhere together.
That's over now.
I felt like a 9 year old leaving their new best friend on the last day of camp. You want to believe you'll see each other again but it'll never happen and you can feel it.
So, farewell my new friend. I wish we could have had more time together but I will always remember the time we shared.
