Seeing it’s been so hazy due to the entire Rocky Mountain range bursting into flames (like me after four beers...or me in a furniture store...or me in a 4x4 parts store) the smoke from this years “burn-fest” has wafted down to Boulder. This has driven my OCD of having a perfectly clean windshield/windscreen into high gear.
Yesterday, leaving work, I began my endless ritual of grabbing a perfectly folded micro-fiber cloth and my aerosol can of window cleaner from my trunk to polish my car’s glass. As I sprayed a white zig-zag of foaming cleaner across my glass I heard a scream.
“Stop that!!! I’m calling the police!!” Somebody stop him!!”
I turned to see a woman desperately dialing on her phone. Mid-fifties, wearing age inappropriate workout pants. Never saying a word, yet giving her a sideways Suzanne Sugarbaker glance; I began to wipe the cleaner from my windshield.
“Oh... I thought you were tagging...vandalizing that car...”
She turned to her phone and began explaining to the 911 operator her about her failings as a dutiful citizen. Then she just wandered away into the smoke, the bedazzled word ‘Juicy’ disappearing into the mist.
Only in Boulder, CO. would someone thing the “tagging” is perpetrated by a gentleman in Eddie Bauer.

I'm Atlanta it's considered the epitome of rudeness to interrupt an artist while he's tagging.
ReplyDeleteThere's pretty, and there's "bless your heart." But wow...this is just beyond. Gives my head a stomachache.

ReplyDeleteYou should have tagged her. With a can, up side her head.
