i have a downhill with lights at the bottom, and the road makes a sweeping 45 degree bend to the right. as i'm coming thru the intersection, i hear a bicycle bell from my left. it's an unknown bicycle commuter waiting at the red light just sayin' hi i guess. i throw a wave as i make the corner and never look back.

then when i'm within 300m of work, i hear meowing and instinctively slow down waiting for more clues, perhaps a kitty is in distress and i can take him home cause i love kitties. but it turns out it's just the pedestrian meowing like a cat. as i pass him he says something in french, mais mon francais es tres malade, je ne comprende pas. either he's nuts or he's looking for his cat. i spent the next 300m gawking around for it but to no avail. also, it's in an industrial park with no residence for blocks, which is an odd spot to look for a lost kitty.
