Sunday, August 12 - Starwatching + Weirdo
So my girlfriend and I went to watch a meteor shower today. We drove about an hour and a half outside of Chicago to get away from the light pollution. The problem was once we got out there, there was no suitable place to gaze from. We found a place off the side of a tertiary road where we were between the road and a field. On the other side of the road were houses though. After watching for about an hour, we heard a couple of faint noises, then immediately there are truck headlights glaring right at us from across the street. So we got back in the car and drove away. I made sure to do a U-turn to see what the hell was going on. We saw an old man hunched over standing but also holding crutches off of the ground and standing in front of a wheelchair. So I’m thinking first, why was that guy standing if he has a wheelchair and crutches? Then, how did he get to his truck with all of those contraptions on his gravel driveway without causing a sound? We must have seemed strange parking across the street from his house and laying on the hood, but I don’t know why he felt he needed to out-do us like it was a creepy-being contest.
