from the inga-needs-new-glasses department (though not as good as the camel on the roadside story)
driving to the night class last night, i passed by this place that i almost caused an accident to do a double-looks-see at - a child care place with a huge sign above the windows that - on first glance - read "tot rot" but, in the almost-crashed glance back, was revealed to say "tot tyme."
what does this say about inga's state of mind lately?

god, i hope somebody asks about the camel-by-the-roadside story.
Okay, I'll bite.
Hey Inga! What's the camel-by-the-roadside story? Does it involve a "latter?"
Pelosi! Pelosi! Pelosi!
driving home one winter afternoon, inga proclaims, "oh my god! look at that camel by the ditch!" stella, shocked, looks around. confused, responds, "inga, that's a pile of snow by a mailbox."
inga got glasses pretty fast after that. and stella always drove until then.
i still contend it was a camel. sure, stella says it was a mailbox, but as a safe and cautious driver, i refrained from looking over my shoulder to confirm that, yes, indeed, it was a camel.
If you lived where I live, you could truly look at the side of the road and say, "Oh my god look at that Manatee/Dolphin/Pelican!"
And it would indeed be a mailbox.
What is with the animal-shaped postal boxes, Florida folks? Who thought this would be whimsical. I think it's just creepy.
oh, lacosta - themed mailboxes are creepy. almost as creepy as cement geese that get dressed up in theme appropriate costumes ("it's raining! let's dress the goose in a yellow slicker! wait, it's christmas! how about a goose-elf? but, wait! it's election day, what about dressing the goose up as a red state?!?")
