Odd sight on the MUP.
I saw a guy hauling a mostly empty trailer. As I got closer, I saw some baby dolls in there. Huh? Is here collecting junk?
Then he went over a slight bump and I hear a metal clink. As I passed, I saw two large weights under the dolls. He was probably hauling 100 pounds.
I wonder why the dolls are there and if he is trying to hide the weights.

My guess is that he was training. OK, but why try to camouflage the weights? He was obviously struggling.

It was obviously a combination of training and pleasure. The weights for training, and the dolls so that he could play during breaks.

He's carrying gold bullion, obviously. The dolls are a disguise.

How real did the dolls look? Some people are obsessed with dolls.

No, this is a weird site on the MUP:
His underwear looks worse in real life.
We call him Leatherman. Or a few other things I can't post here.

There is a guy on my MUP that has baby doll arms coming out of the top of his helmet like antlers.

. Love these daily humors. Some truck drivers strap a huge dirty teddy bear in front of their truck.Maybe if we have such "decorations" the drivers will be more friendly to us

Possibly a guy training to trailer his kids. Perhaps a bun still in the oven.
In that case the dolls might be to remind him why he is suffering pulling those weights when he gets tired.

Was it the creepy Annabelle doll from the movie? Maybe she was forcing him to haul weights for some sinister plan.

Not dolls. Baby crash dummies. He's doing a study on whether children should wear helmets while riding in a trailer behind a bike.
