Crop circles and nine-day weeks

Today has been full of weirdnesses (and no, the creation of the word “weirdnesses” is not one of them):

1. Dead-heading rhododendrons feels kind of like plucking large, long-legged, sticky insects off  branches. I do not like it, Sam-I-Am.

   

2. Son#1 pointed out a newspaper ad for a local restaurant that said “Authentic Mexican Food 7 Days a Week” across the top, and “Closed Saturday and Sunday” on the bottom. Is there a 9-day week that I don’t know about?
3. I saw a young woman this afternoon who reminded me of someone I used to know – someone who died years ago. I did that rubber-neck second-glance thing anyway, as if checking to see if it actually was the person I knew, back from the dead.  That’s the kind of thing that lands a person in the middle of a Twilight Zone episode.
4. I watched a YouTube video of Michael Jackson’s Thriller the other day because I wanted to remember how to do that weird zombie dance for some reason. Today, well… RIP M.J.
   
5. Wallabies that are high on opium have been walking in circles, creating crop circles. So that’s what causes them! (And here I was thinking they were caused by giant peant butter cups landing in the fields….)
6. My laptop keeps freezing up today. It’s never done that before. The screen suddenly goes black and the only way to bring it back to life is to restart the computer. It makes me very nervous. I fear for my computer’s life.

The day’s almost over, so maybe that’s it for weirdnesses. Maybe….
