And Nutcase of the Week Award goes to...

The guy outside the coffee shop wandering around in traffic! Congratulations.



Today I looked outside only to see a confused looking man walking around all swirly in the middle of Cedar Avenue. Splendid!



There were cars flying by him honking and swerving out of his way as he held his jacket up in the air at them. Why was he holding his jacket up? I don't know. Maybe it was a new jacket and he wanted to show it to everyone. Maybe this is some new bastardized version of urban bullfighting where cars play the role of the bull that I have not yet heard of. Maybe he found the jacket and was holding it up to everyone zooming past him at 30 mph as if to say "pardon me - is this yours?"



He continued to do this and every so often gave the coffee shop a looksie like he was going to head over here and pay me a visit. This made me feel a little unsafe, so I locked the door and called the Po-leese.



He wandered up Cedar and one of the many people watching him in disbelief pointed the Po-leese car in his direction when it pulled up. He was talked to for a few minutes and placed in the car, never to be seen again (hopefully).



Congratulations to the Nutcase of the Week Award winner - it's people like you that make life more interesting!
