I feel like I am pretty accepting of DIFFERENT. I was, after all, the VP of the drama club in high school. I will say, however, that the last few days I have been baffled by the odd people (or at least the odd behavior) I have seen around town and in my neighborhood. Yesterday I was going to the fabric store with Gracie and saw some guy riding a bike that was two bikes stacked on top of each other. Maybe he was headed to a circus or bike club, but to me it looked like he was headed to 7-11 for a slurpee. I couldn't help thinking as I watched him, what if you fall? How do you get off that thing? How do you get ON that thing? I guess that for some people a normal bike just isn't enough.
On Saturday there was a "tour de fat" and all sorts of people were dressed up in weird outfits and costumes. They rode to a local brewery that had a band playing and some other activities. We didn't know what was going on until later but I was surprised to see a man hopping into his car that morning with a rapunzel wig. Honestly, my first thought was... , "I wonder if that is the cross dresser that Justin saw at the DMV when he was getting his Colorado license?". That same day I saw stilt walkers, lots of Dr. Seuss type hats and other people who looked like they maybe belonged to the circus.
Well, now that I've blogged about this I feel a bit like I did yesterday and this weekend. I'm at a loss for words.
*Note: I'm really sorry if my judgements about the circus and weird people are offensive to anyone. I'm sure these people are really nice,

I don't think you said anything bad about the people, just that they were doing things differently, and that you wouldn't choose to do things in their way.
Funny!
Funny, extra funny. Maybe we'll think twice about moving to colorado! Oh but one question, did you used to say that it was totally "cool" to be part of the drama club at Olympus? We always did think you were a little off on that, glad to see Justin convinced you otherwise! :)
