weird stuff while commuting

I've seen a few weird (and sometimes cool) things while commuting.

This morning I saw a dead pigeon on the side of the road.  I could have sworn it's head was cut off.  I didn't check closely though.

I saw 2 dogs with their owners taking a crap.  It must be nice being a dog owner and cleaning up the crap afterwards.

I saw one lady cleaning up random dog crap on the bike path.  She had a plastic bag.  She didn't have a dog with her so I guess she was just being nice.

Almost daily I pass a guy on a bike that I call "Ghost Man."  His face is covered in white lotion (maybe sunscreen)?  He also wears a hat and usually has some cloth covering his face.  But his face is completey white.  His ride is the opposite direction.

Last night I passed a rollerblader in Marina Del Rey.  He was blading pretty fast but I passed him.  I let off a little bit and was riding at around 15mph and he stayed right behind me.  Maybe he was pushing himself a little bit because he didn't have lights and I had my bright light but he stayed with me for a few miles.  It was amazing that he could maintain that speed for so long.  Very impressive.
