Stranger things have happened...

...but these are still pretty strange. Here is a round up/count down of some of the things I saw this weekend that made me go, "Hmmm..."

5) Multi-colored goldfish crackers swimming in a kiddie pool. (Ok they weren't so much swimming as they were floating but still).
4) Two teenage-ish boys playing a full drumset under a railroad bridge wearing Hawaiian shorts, too-big blazers, and sunglasses. A cop watched from down the street, leaning against the car and tapping her foot.
3) At the Stone Arch Art Festival there were fairy houses for sale, as well as toad huts. Fairy houses, for those of you who aren't familiar with them, are like little bird houses with tiny hole entrances, bright ceramic roofs, and neon flowers painted all over the sides. Toad huts, on the other hand, are squat, rounded mound looking structures that sit on the ground, have several entrances, and slightly resemble a house fit for a Hobbit (only much smaller).
2) A hefty shirtless man, about 65 years old, wandering the river banks wearing a bright red plastic lei and a kilt.
1) These two obits were listed side by side in a South Dakota newspaper (one of my co-workers has a cabin there and pointed this out to me):
