Today is May 7, 2009 or 5-7-9. Odd Day . Ron Gordon a Redwood City California teacher has come up with the idea and has a website and seems to have gotten his daughter to post Odd day on face-plant as an event. I joined. And good for him. I will meet him someday, randomly.
I like odd things. According to Websters on Line, odd is being without a corresponding mate, the odd shoe. Also, not even. Not divisible by two. Most importantly to me, odd means not regular, expected or planned. How odd?
Einstein would have liked today I think. My friend Lili is a number person too and she will like odd day, this I am sure. She and Einstein are much different then me, they are number people. I like random events. I like meeting random people too.
Traveling gives me great excuse for being randomly friendly and meeting all sorts of interesting people. When you meet someone traveling, they are so wonderfully open and disclosing because there are no expectations of social engagement later. No expectations of continued contact. 
This is Casey who drives a peddle cab in Washington. We were looking for one to have fun, and he was the perfect pick. Turns out Casey is the producer of a documentary called Ballou. Here is the U-tube blip.
We also made friends with the DC Art police and got Sargent Murphy to let us play with his Segway. 
We asked Srg. Murphey and his crew if they had seen a peddle cab, cuz we wanted a ride. We went up street and waved Casey over. The two officers in the mini car played along and yelled warnings to Casey to not take us for a ride because we were trouble. (how true!) We got in and got Casey to race the Art police down the lane, us in the road and the two officers on the side walk in front of the museums. Ringing bike bells and tooting mini cop car horns. Tourists must have wondered what we were doing.
Wonderfully random and odd. This is the way I like to live life, so I will celebrate odd day and maybe I will win the $579 bucks!
