Two interesting things to note:

In the "Things You Don't See Every Day" category...
I was walking to work this morning and passing some of the office buildings on Trade Street, when up ahead was a city worker with a leaf blower. Not unusual, even at 8 AM. So I get a little closer and I realize...the leaf-blower person is female. Hmm, now that's a little unusual. So I cross the street and... the leaf-blower lady is a white female. Now that's unusual. Here in Charlotte anyway. WASPy professional white lady land...

The other day I was walking to work, and I was stopped at a corner waiting for the light to change. That's always a good opportunity to watch people on the street. It's either that, or watch the little numbers count down from "40" on the crossing sign. So hurrying down the crosswalk to my right is an older, professional looking gentleman. Probably in his 50's, white hair, neat moustache, nice suit. Not unusual. He comes up to the corner and takes a spot next to me, looking across the street. Suddenly he points at the building across the street and says,

"Oh, yes, I'm going in to YOU."

Needless to say, I let him cross the street ahead of me.

Was he talking to himself? Was he talking to the building? Only he knows for sure...
