People are crazy.. everywhere.

I hope this will be an ongoing spot here. I have every intention of finding the nutjobs in every city I visit so I can post blogs about them. Just to make the rest of us realize that the entire nation is one big crazy place and that our little holes in the wall might not be so bad.

So here is one from my travels last week:

Location: I-77 Southbound Rest Area in Parkersburg, PA
Date/Time: 7/21/20 8:50pm ish.

Looked up from jotting notes about this particular new blog idea to see a white male standing outside of his vehicle at the end of the ramp leading back to the interstate. Id guess he was in his late 30's wearing light blue denim jean shorts and a neon green t-shirt. His white minivan did not have his hazards on. Nothing looked wrong with his vehicle. He was just parked there and pacing outside of his van. Didnt approach vehicles that were leaving the rest area, passing him within feet, and getting back onto interstate. What he DID do was wait for the big rigs to drive by and pump his fist furiously in the universal sign begging trucks to blow their horns. He did this to every passing truck. Got a good response, too. I watched him for about 10 minutes, periodically making notes about his behavior, then looked up to find he had totally disappeared. Drove off. I still have no clue what the point of it was. If its therapeutic, maybe Ill try it next time I pull off the road.
