I saw three of the oddest sites in my neighborhood.
This week I saw three of the oddest sites in my neighborhood. My twins missed all three, as they were asleep or just paying attention to something else. I look forward to when the three of us can share what we see together. I know this time will come soon enough, as they are growing so fast. They each a lot to say, but it is all baby talk. They are starting to understand some baby signs. I hope within the next couple of months they will start to sign back.
First: While running with my twins, a rather confused woman driving a mini van through the neighborhood was pushing a large pile of branches under her front bumper. She came to a stop at the intersection, while myself, along with some other onlookers couldn't help but stare, as it was a funny site to watch her continue driving through the intersection, speeding up and slowing down, obviously trying to figure out what the loud noise was coming from the front of her van. She eventually pulled over, stopped and got out to get check the noise. At that point, I proceeded on my run through the neighborhood. Chuckling occasionally, when I realized she had left a trail of the debris pile from her driveway all the way out to the intersection where I first saw her. Well, I hope the rest of her drive to her final destination was uneventful. Second: While driving with my twins on La Riviera Drive, I was nearing a crosswalk and traffic had to slow way down to allow a wild turkey to cross. The turkey was using the crosswalk as if he knew that was the safest way to cross the busy street. Third: While rolling the garbage and recycle containers out to the side of the street, I just happened to look up and saw two crows. One following the other. The crow flying behind was laboring under its load. It was carrying a large twig in its beak. The twig must have been over a foot in length. It finally came to rest atop a power pole. 4 comments from 4 users

Oh man, that's a SLOW day in Davis! There's a guy we call "Naked Wheelchair Man!" Because, well, no matter what the weather he's in his wheelchair, in the middle of the road, with no clothes on. Just wheeling himself down the middle of the street. Naked. In a wheelchair. Welcome to Davis!

How funny! A week ago yesterday in the evening I went out my front door to find a Wild Turkey in our front yard. (We're in the Arden area, behind El Camino High). That was the first time I'd ever seen one in our area. He hopped around for a while and then flew up on to our neighbor's roof...haven't seen him since.

What is up with the turkeys?!On Friday last week I was sleepily preparing my morning coffee. While I filled the water with one hand, I raised the blind over my kitchen sink with the other and suddenly came wide awake as I watched a totally unexpected turkey walking casually across my lawn! I live in Roseville near the Galleria. I have never seen a turkey anywhere near my house. I called my neighbor across the street. She told me that there are turkeys at the golf course two neighborhoods over. We both came out of our houses to watch it strolling down the block. So strange. And funny that so many others here have turkey stories.
