Sights Seen

While walking to the union for a bottle of Coke:

• Two women walking side-by-side, one wearing a pea-green peacoat, the other wearing pea-green pants. One might say they were looking quite poddish.
• A would-be hipster trying and failing for a full minute to light his cigarette. Carleton must have one of the lowest rates of smoking of any college.
• Innumerable North Face jackets. Are these things ever going to go out of style?
• More oversized, fur-lined boots than the Golden Horde.
• Lots of hair-color experimentation, particularly in blue. "I'll show those parents of mine!"
• Plaid pants.
• A kid wearing mountaineering goggles as sunglasses. We're neither at altitude nor in danger of snowblindness, bud.

Sadly, I saw no unicyclists today. Though there was a unicycle parked in the foyer of my building all day yesterday.
