A Little Weirdness from the Weekend

I happened to see several things that struck me as slightly odd (but entertaining!) over the weekend, and wondered what you might
think of them.

This first one is a sign on the inside of the restroom near the family waiting room at the hospital. The sign is not very evident until after you've finished, but once I read it, I wondered why the nursing staff needed to be alerted, why only female patients needed to check with a nurse, why before, and why the sign wasn't posted on the outside of the door since this checking in was supposed to happen before use. (I may have a tendency to overthink things, especially if they don't make any sense.) When I returned to the waiting room, I asked the nurse at the desk about the sign, and she looked at me like I was crazy. She finally said she had no idea what I was talking about, and when I showed her the sign, she just shrugged her shoulders and said, "No idea. That's weird." I agree.

This one is more entertaining than weird, but I was surprised to see the Back to the Future car at a local car show on Saturday. It was missing the crucial Mr. Fusion generator, and Doc was nowhere to be seen, but the DeLorean was still a pretty cool car.

This last bit of weirdness was the best. Someone is building a new house around the corner from us, and I've enjoyed checking their progress when my walking route takes me past the construction. I had to do a double take on Sunday and then zoom in for a close up.

Yes, that's an elk in the upstairs window. I don't know why someone would need to air out their taxidermy, but I was happy to see something so funny. When I got home and told John about it, for some reason he didn't believe I saw an elk looking out of the upstairs window until I showed him the photos. We went back to take another look, but the elk had disappeared. I was glad I had seen it; a little
bit of weirdness is a good thing once in a while!
