Weird Wednesday: Fall 2021 Edition

 Just some interesting photos I’ve collected over the past few months for your viewing pleasure:

I came across this car in a parking lot. Unsure if it represents a mouse, gerbil, or hamster. Pest control? There was nothing to indicate that.

Isn't the NextDoor app a hoot? The crap that people try to sell. The spelling. And what happened to the rest of its body? We want answers!

Hoppin' Frog has been a brewery on our radar for a long time, but it's a far drive for us. So, when we happened to be in that area, we stopped in for a flight. It's probably the best beer we've had, anywhere. What's weird about it? Do you see the building in the distance?

The brewery is across the street from the Goodyear Airdock, where blimps were constructed and housed, back in the day. Built in 1929, it was the largest building in the world without interior supports and has its own weather system inside. As in, it could be a sunny day, but raining inside. Today, it's a research facility for Lockheed Martin. Goodyear blimps are now stored in a hanger not too far away from this location. Growing up in Akron, blimps were a common sight and I still see one a few times a year, living in Cleveland. As a kid, the sight of this structure freaked me out when we would occasionally drive past it. The photo might not do it justice. It's ginormous!

This photo is for my blogger friend, Ron, a Philadelphia native who hates Philly Cheesesteaks. I have never had one, but my son and daughter-in-law visited Philadelphia a few months ago and sent me this photo of one they bought. I'm with Ron: so gross!!!

Speaking of gross, my husband found this growing in our yard and carried it up to the garage. He thought it was a soccer ball from a distance! It's a giant puffball mushroom, and yes, people eat them. No, thank you. I'll stick with grocery store mushrooms.

This was so unusual that I had to take a picture. While walking in our neighborhood, I saw a peach tree growing next to someone's driveway. I was surprised because although there are a few peach orchards in the area, growing peaches is not common in Northeast Ohio. I hope the homeowners got to the peaches before a hungry deer ambled by.

Over the summer, we visited an 'antiques' consignment shop and I came upon these pieces of art. LOL! Who would buy this?? I also saw a set of Seven Dwarves figurines that my kids had when they were little, probably bought at a Disney Store. I made sure to take a photo to show my kids that their toys were now considered antiques.

Same parking lot; another weird car. Can you imagine a friend pulling up in this van to give you a ride? I'd walk! Embarrassing.

An embarrassing moment for me. In early September, I saw this fall display and pointed it out to Middle Child. I commented that I thought it was a bit early for a turkey, since Thanksgiving was so far away. She then pointed out that it wasn't a turkey, it was Big Bird. Okay then!

Have a Weird Wednesday!
