I work in a cafe in a city. The cafe has huge windows looking onto the street. Here is where I witness many (what I like to call) MYSTERIES.
A few mysteries of late:
- Why was that man dressed like George Washington walking with a group of school children?
- Who is that man in the trench coat that charges by every morning at 9.30?
- Is that car going to hit that car while parallel parking?
- Is it vital for that man to be drinking beer at 11am?
- Whose dog just ran by?
- By the way...I tweet these kinds of things all the time @VanessaMeryl
Now I realize I should have taken a picture of the window for you...I'll do that for soon.
Anyway, one of the mysteries is a very interesting man named Ted. He likes to tell me about his spaceships, the government and documents. He is very hard to understand cos none of what he says ever makes sense.
Yesterday, I was at the grocery store and I found an abandoned grocery list. On the top of the list it said "suspenders" I am pretty sure you can't get suspenders at the grocery store. So naturally I took a picture:
It wasn't until after I left the store and got in my car that I really looked at it. I thought...that looks like Ted's handwriting...I know for a fact he writes in all caps but the letter "i" How do I know his handwriting...oh yea, cos a few years ago he asked if I would type up a book for him that he was writing. About spaceships. I'm serious. He paid me but it was the worst 7 hours at the library in my life!
So I decided that this was Ted's grocery list. And then I read the whole thing. Is it just me or at the bottom right on the fold does it say the word EViDENCE?
And there is my mystery.
I am tempted to show him the picture and ask if it is his. But I know it is. I have run into him at that grocery store before. Also, it would really freak him out if I did...he already thinks the government and outer space are after him. He doesn't need to think I am.
I wish I went back and took the list. Just so I could know what the rest says! I guess I never will. But you better believe I am going to be looking for more of his lost lists.
I feel like this is going to be a saga of blog posts from me. My mysteries. So look forward to that.
Any mysteries going on in your life?
