One thing I love about my paper route is that sometimes you get to see some...interesting things. Today was one of those days.
About two blocks ahead in the darkness, I saw some strange movement. I approached with caution, and came upon a troupe of three people in the road moving...a couch. At four in the morning.
This particular neighborhood is full of apartments, much of them full of students, so there's always lots of moving in and out. During the day, people carrying a couch wouldn't trigger a reaction from me, but at 4am? Really?
Later, I came upon them again. This time, they had the couch balanced on it's end, so it was sticking up in the air like a great monument to their couch-moving abilities, and they were carrying a cover and some cushions up to it. They then proceeded to put the couch in the right position, put the cover on, add the cushions, and sit there on the couch, sticking out halfway into the intersection.
By far, it's not the weirdest thing I've encountered on my route, but it's up there.
