Most priceless request: Keep your dog off my roof!
o
This request perplexed me. “How,” I thought, “could my dog be getting on
your roof?” By continuing the
discussion, I discovered that this person lived in a cave house half way down
the hill. His ‘roof’, therefore, is
nothing more than a plot of land which slopes downward from the sidewalk on my
street.

The funniest traffic advisory: Traffic backed up to Costa Rica
o
Traffic on the inner beltway of Madrid, the M-30, is
usually backed up at rush hour. One day
was particularly bad and the advisories started before I even reached the
beltway. Luckily, this was not a warning
for a 3000 mile backup; Costa Rica is also the name of a street in Madrid.

Most exciting highway:
A-3 near Madrid
o
This
highway connects the capital with Valencia.
I equate it with an amusement park; there are Roller Coasters,
Merry-Go-Rounds and Bumper Cars. My favorite, Bumper Cars on Exit 6 driving
towards Valencia.

The ugliest bird isn’t one
o
My daughter declared she had seen a hummingbird in our
garden. It would be possible although we
are located a little too far north. I
finally got a photograph of it. Sure
enough, it was flying like a hummingbird, it had the pointy little nectar
dipper too but, my, was it an ugly hummingbird. Then, we discovered something….
it's a moth pretending to be a hummingbird!
