Our little thread is grinding to a halt these days.
I started my work week this morning in the most disturbing fashion. Walking to work on this chilly (but not necessarily cold) morning, I passed an Obese black man dressed in hotpants and a child's bikini top. Construction workers were calling after him, "put some clothes on, it's cold out here."
But the image was not as disturbing as the smell. Once I passed him, I detected the smell of rotten pumpkins and that smell lingered in the air for some 300 feet.
