Every once in a while one sees strange things. About 4:30 yesterday afternoon, I was driving home from the village and when I got to the Fairfax Town Garage, there were a couple of cars parked there. One guy seemed to be looking up and down the road and one woman was sitting in a lawn chair in back of a station wagon that had the tailgate up. I thought, this sure seems like a strange place to have a picnic.
As I drove up the road and got closer to Sandersons Corners Cemetery, I saw a young man running like crazy down the road holding what appeared to be a two foot high plain wooden cross in front of him. I seriously thought of turning around and following him to see if he was meeting the people down at The Town Garage.
Strange!! Strange!! Strange!!
