The more time you spend looking out your window, the more weirdness you see. My favorite character is the guy in our old condo in Singapore who swims in the pool so slowly, and with such poor form, that the first time we saw him we thought he was a paraplegic. We'd stand and just watch him swim - it was fascinating. One of our friends saw him and said, "My lifeguard training would tell me that man is in distress and I should save him, but he's been going like that for an hour." <BR/><BR/>Actually, now that I think of it, even better is my parent's neighbor, who likes to run while mowing his lawn. You can only see the front part of his lawn from their front window. It's a great game to watch him burst into view, slow down for the turn, then take off again. <BR/><BR/>Life is so much more fun with weird neighbors.Gina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03454230437607997134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18628978.post-68686954485897357942008-07-01T12:44:00.000-07:002008-07-01T12:44:00.000-07:00It's possible, it's possible.

But I will pause to consider your proposed theory about being a weird magnet. That has a ring of plausibility...Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410002407855752531noreply@blogger.com
