Sidewalk Cafe?

So yesterday morning I walked out of the apartment in the rain. There on the sidewalk I saw a lone, unwrapped slice of Swiss cheese. I had mixed emotions: one, I found it pretty hilarious that this one piece of cheese found it's way to my sidewalk and two, I felt pretty sad for the person who was going to bite into a cheeseless sandwich. Then again, Swiss cheese is really not too delicious anyway, so maybe it was on purpose or at least for the diner's good that is was discarded. Poor, sad piece-o-cheese.
My random sidewalk sighting reminded me of some story (help me out if you know the reference) of a person that collected single puzzle pieces that he found. I remember thinking that it would surely be a small collection as I had never seen a lost puzzle piece just sitting alone somewhere. (English majors and other obsessors will note use of the past participle "had" instead of "have"). Lo and behold, just last fall I was at the tire store at our local Sam's club when I spotted a single jigsaw piece right there on the floor in the shop. And then I had to rethink just about everything.
Just for fun-what's the strangest/funniest/still-blog-appropriate thing you've ever seen on a sidewalk?

This is a test...

Just wanted to see if anyone is still paying attention, not that we've given you any reason to check back in. (Insert excuses for not having blogged here:_________). Anyway, maybe we'll give this another shot. Blogging sure beats unpacking and breaking down boxes for now. Of course, there has been a marked decrease in productivity since I discovered this http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094582/ is now showing EVERY WEEKNIGHT on one of our 11 channels. But if you promise to visit us at our new place I will stop watching long enough to at least get the house ready for your visit...
