Rush Hour, the Commute

~ Bon Steele

I saw three fairly random/odd things on the way to work this morning:

A. The GIANT – Great Dane or something – moose-like dog in the backseat of the

Not Moose Ready
Honda Fit. I am pretty sure that if he was standing outside the car, his shoulders would have topped at least the bottom of the car windows. He took up the entire backseat and his head/neck were hanging totally out of the window. He looked happy in a lips-flapping sort of way, though.

Moose!

B. You know those guys that make arcane symbols on the street? Surveyor crew guys wearing safety orange? Well one of them was out today – totally decked out in his bright orange vest with his can of orange spray paint and camera thingie – in the middle of the road. No, duh you might say. They do that sort of thing all the time. And indeed, they do. But usually they have some sort of sawhorse, cone or other safety gear about them while they paint their veves on the road. Not this guy. Blissfully unconcerned that he might get mowed down.

Viva la veve!

C. And the third and verily the oddest of all while on the way to work was someone letting another car in ahead of them during rush hour. Shocking!

  1. That 2nd pic is a symbol representative of one of the Voudoun loa as I recall…which one?

    And if I never mentioned it, I grew up with a moose. 🙂 She was a fabulous dog.

    1. Papa Legba. Good eye. 🙂 Apparently the road crews in Austin are heavy in to the voodoo?

      I never said that they were bad dogs. Just large and drooly. And this one looked particularly goofy in the back seat of a car that only outweighed him by a hundred pounds or so.

      1. I can imagine. 🙂 But I love me teh mooses.

        Compared to Dallas roads, Austin apparently has the roadcrews that go do that voodoo that they do so wellllll.
        So if a flag to Papa Legba helps get it done or keep ’em safe, hey, I’m for it.
