Bizarre Moments From My Weekend Trip To See The Folks

Bizarre moments from my weekend trip to see the folks:

I noticed that Pittsburgh International Airport now has a Joe And The Juice coffee shop. It was closed when I arrived, but I made a point to stop by for a coffee before my return flight. When I returned to the shop, I heard someone say, “Nice to see you here!” The guy managing the shop at the airport was the manager of Joe And The Juice on Wall Street when I worked there. It’s a small world!

Diving into the town where my sister lives, I passed a hitchhiker, a sixty-something fellow with a gray beard who pantomimed a pathetic appeal for me to stop and pick him up. As I passed by, I watched in the mirror as he made the same gesture to the car behind me. About an hour later, I stopped by a local restaurant. Sitting at the counter having lunch was the hitchhiker.

Standing in a kitchen, I ate baby carrots out of the package as a huge pit bull watched me. “I’m eating carrots, dog! You don’t want carrots,” I said to my furry friend. I tossed him a piece of one of the carrots. To my surprise, he ate it. After that, I split my carrots with him, and he ate every bite.

When I had had my fill of carrots, I ate a couple of blueberry yogurts. The dog watched, so I left some yogurt in the bottom of each cup and put them on the floor. Pit bulls love carrots and blueberry yogurt. Who knew?
