Sunday is family day. Which means spending the day somewhere else. Today have been on Camano Island.

So I'm walking around downtown and see this guy around my age wearing an orange sock on his hand, which got my attention.

Then a car pulls up to orange sock dude and after a couple of seconds he kicks the car a couple of times really hard leaving dents and a girl that's with the guy is yelling at the driver "dad just go!". Then as the car drives off orange sock guy starts running after it.

All kinds of peculiar stuff goes on in this town and I find it quite entertaining.

This place is like Mayberry meets the Twilight Zone. Mostly it's just a normal small city. But it definitely has it's eccentric side.


I'm sitting in the old courthouse courtyard and the clock tower just went bong loud enough to make me drop my phone lol.

It's 80 degrees with a with a strong cool sea breeze.

Where I used to live it's 108 degrees with a slight desert blast furnace breeze.

I may be the only one who referrers to this place as such. But to me it's quite small and quaint, along with quirky.

I would probably stand out a lot more in Mayberry. I tend to blend in well with the other oddballs roaming the streets here.

I haven't watched many episodes of the Andy Griffith show, so I don't know much about it.

Just walked past a lady wearing a baret with cat ears.

A guy carrying three brightly painted bowling pins.

Weird like Portland.

No, but I always suspected it in the back of my mind.

What small town are we talking about? PM if this is "classified."

That's assuming you trust Aunt Bea with the information. ;)

While I'm not really worried about someone hunting me down, I still avoid broadcasting the name of the place. Can I trust that you won't try to hunt me down? Hmm.... maaaybe.

I'd be careful if I were you.

The little town I live near is like Mayberry,not one traffic signal in the whole county.Otis has a meth problem instead of hooch.All the little old ladies are strapped like Aunt Bea.All the stores are closed after nine at night.
