Today was apparently a day for strange sites in central Florida.
This morning I went out back to water the plants.  The garden was very dry and the ground was thirstily sucking up the water.  I went to water the front.  And everything was wet.  Everything - the soil is wet, water droplets shimmer on the leaves and the pitcher for spot watering is holding water.  It was unmistakable - it rained in the front yard and not in the back.  This happens sometimes in Florida; you'll see it raining on one side of the street and not on the other.  But it never stops being weird.
And then at noon, I was waiting for the light at the corner of a major thoroughfare and a residential street.  Walking down the sidewalk is a guy with Elvis hair - jet black, wavy, the whole deal - black, plastic thick-rimmed sunglasses, a cigarette and several tattoos.  He's wearing black boxers, a white undershirt, black slippers (with socks) and a gold bathrobe, loosely tied at the waist.  I wish I could have taken a picture, because trying to describe it just doesn't do it justice.
Maybe the wizards are moving about for some reason?  Though, I don't know why they'd be watering half my yard...
