Bizarre find of the day!

Day 27 & counting...

Consecutive days of rain...

Gloomy? No way...

Not when you experience something as bizarre as we did today.

..

National media reported the 27th day of rain in the Seattle area.

Despite the rain, the sun shone. A lot!

We spent the day enjoying the sun.

At our favorite beach.

While dodging rain drops.

..

So, too, did several dozen scuba divers from around the region.

Divers are normal at the beach.

What isn't normal is what one diver brought back to shore.

..

We were headed home from the beach, when we noticed a diver perform some odd maneuvers. He rolled over like a seal and then tossed his fins around causing quite a stir.

..

We noticed this aberrant behavior immediately--

assuming he was experiencing a medical emergency

and that we'd need to swim out to render aid.

He saw how perplexed we were and then explained his behavior:

he was simply testing new equipment.

..

A moment later, he dives under again and retrieves a china plate.

Odd!

He thanks us for asking about him and gives us the plate.

..

Now the mystery that perplexes us is why was there a plate in Puget Sound?

How did it get there?

Is somebody's china set missing a plate?

How bizarre!

..

We continue home, plate in hand, across the railroad tracks--where we find one dime, one nickel and two pennies along the tracks--that had been 'elongated' by passing trains.

Definitely an interesting day.

Perhaps we'll hide a letterbox to commemorate such an odd discovery???

..

..

..

Tomorrow might be bizarre, too.

I start my glassblowing lessons in T-town.

Let's hope they're educational and not TOO exciting!!!
