Strange stuff along the side of the road...
 
... beach balls!

Saw one rolling downhill on the shoulder, as we were driving to church.

Then, saw one while driving a different route home from church.

Not the same ball, not even in the same town.

??

And both were miles from any beach.

Windy day?;) Actually they probably got lose from a high school graduation. The kids like to sneak them in and throw them around during the ceremony.

You think that's strange?!? I was doing an internship (I went back to college several years ago) with some high school kids. We were cleaning up the trash alongside a highway here in town. One of them came up to me, held up something & said "What is this"? It was a vibrator! Yes, that kind of vibrator! Boy oh boy... I wonder what the backstory to that was?!

Once my DH and I were trveling along a rather boring highway when we saw a roll of duct tape rolling down the road toward us. Got our attention, and we had something to talk about for a few minutes.

I have also wondered about all the times I have seen just a single shoe (or sneaker) on the side of the road.

How do you lose just ONE?

I always suspect a bored toddler in the backseat with a window cracked open for air........
