In some ways a continuation of My Year of Reading...but perhaps not...

Illiterate:Or, can't really read the situation(s)

1. Ray & Main: Watched a guy standing on Ray tucking his T-shirt into his pants. Seemed to be having difficulty. Glanced up at me when I drove past but I observed through my rear-view mirror that he got back to tucking even after I was long gone.

2. Ray & George: A guy all alone on a dark, quiet street (George) was wrestling with his bicycle. He was twisting the handlebars back and forth in a continuous shaking motion. Oblivious to my presence (passing by).

3. Discovery Drive. A van parked behind me and then was joined by an SUV which parked in the middle of the road. The people in the two vehicles passed a cell phone back and forth managing to drop it on the ground twice. Several people exit the SUV and move over to get into the van. The second woman says, "thanks for letting me use your stethoscope" as she exits. The SUV drives away and the van (motor off) driver turns on the lights which illuminate me! Most of the people from the van stand on the sidewalk and talk loudly - nothing very interesting, some whining about waiting, etc.
