Random Cell Phone Pics

I found a new mall in the San Diego area last weekend. It was another outdoor type mall, which is quite common around here. One of the things I notice was that the outdoor mall had all indoor dining, the giant food court and other restaurants were all inside. I expected an outdoor mall to have some outdoor dining. I walked around to see see what the food court had to offer, and what do I find inside the food court?......an indoor ice rink! And the ice rink isn't really separate, either. The rink is down a level, but there is no wall behind the nearest goal that I saw to keep a flying puck from hitting someone while they are eating.....totally bizarre.

This is one of the oddest things I ever witnessed.






To cap of a bizarre find weekend....The next day I walked out of the house that I live in to find two random ducks in the driveway. I have no idea how they got there or why. I don't know of any ponds around and there are two big barking dogs where I live, and I can't imagine the ducks had a playdate with them. But these ducks were walking up to the house like they were moving in.


One was a mallard duck (green head?) and the other was a brown duck. Just hanging out in the burbs.


This one was posing for photographs. I just kept walking right on up to me.


I used to have wild turkeys running around my old neighborhood in PA, but there were at least woods and a farm nearby. Vista, CA is much more of a concrete jungle/burbs area.
