My work life has been super crazy for the past couple of weeks, and I've had lots of little things rattling around my head that I just haven't had time to do anything with. Herewith are the ones that come readily to mind, in no particular order and with no particular linking theme.

violetcheetah suggested that I title this "Sunday Morning Rambly Bits" with apologies to gnomi, but it is no longer morning.)
- Any fellow Random-ites planning to go to the birthday party? I haven't yet decided.
- A couple of weeks ago, I was driving up I-95 on my way to work and noticed a sudden plume of smoke ahead. The source was a small car -- not a sportscar, but a sporty small model -- perhaps half a mile ahead of me. That car pulled off into the breakdown lane, so I soon passed it ... and about five seconds later, passed the tire merrily rolling its way on down the breakdown lane, maintaining a pretty good clip. I don't know how the car managed to lose what appeared to be a perfectly round tire from around its wheel. I've heard that kids in the old days played with sticks and hoops, but ... somehow I don't think the driver was trying for the modern version of the game.
- As I headed home a more recent evening, I saw an AAA flatbed tow truck moving south down I-95. This wasn't a private garage's truck with a AAA symbol; it was fully painted as being AAA's own vehicle. It was moving down the highway backwards ... because it was itself being towed, by a private-garage big rig tower.
- One recent Thursday, I was working from home and went downstairs for food. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a bird hanging midair below one of the feeders on the deck. ( details ) The bird seemed fine, so there was apparently no harm done, but I am left to wonder what it is with me and my tendency towards endangering innocent animals by neligence with string.
- The Discovery Channel has a new show called "Smash Lab". I checked out the first episode and won't be watching it again. ( details )
