Things you don’t expect to see in traffic: Unicycles
I was driving home on Wednesday and pulled up to the head of the line at the corner of Route 7100 and Foxmill Road near Herndon. As I’m sitting there, I see this guy filter forward through traffic, and dismount off of his unicycle:
I was a little surprised to say the least. However, I wasn’t completely shocked, as I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this same guy commuting on the bike path on 7100 once before, in even weirder circumstances. I was looking forward to seeing him mount up, and ride across, but unfortunately (for me), he just walked the unicycle across. I’m guessing that’s probably a lot safer, but unfortunately I didn’t really get to see him riding. Unfortunately the quality of the picture is pretty bad, but you can click the photo to see the higher resolution version at Flickr. I pulled my formerly trusty Canon S400 out of my bag, but it appears that the sensor has bitten the bullet. Well, I’m not positive, but I do know that all the pictures on the LCD show up purplish, and really wavy/fuzzy. I need to decide now whether or not I should buy another Digital Elph, or wait until the 3G iPhone comes out, and just use the camera that is on that. I’m thinking I’d like a separate camera, since on multi-day bike trips it would be a lot easier to keep a camera charged than a phone
