Local Color

While this blog centers of the trials and tribulations of business travel all across the country, I've noticed there's also a whole lotta crazy right here in our own backyard worth recounting. Behind the facade of picturesque clapboard cottages, rocky beaches, lighthouses, and lobstahs lies some pretty weird sh*t.

Here's a list I have compiled over the past week or so of the utterly ridiculous things I have seen going about my normal business here at home:

1. A grown man on a bright red Razor scooter
2. A large taxidermied rodent wearing purple Elton John glasses at a bar
3. A life-size Santa Claus statue waving from the back of a truck bed on Route 28
4. A man with mutton chops driving a completely red, white, and blue Jeep emblazoned with 'Murrica across the bumper
5. A blind man who could play guitar (which was actually pretty awesome)

These chance encounters generally made my day, and I'm sure I haven't even begun to scratch the surface of the hilarity that is this town. Anways, I just urge my fellow RWPs and myself to truly appreciate this crazy place we call home before we head out soon into the big bad world that is fall travel season!
