I was out and about yesterday which was a welcome break from my usual stay at home routine. We went to Como Zoo, Ax Man surplus store, Seward Coop, and Home Depot. I saw strange things indeed. I saw a sloth. I saw down the throat of a lioness as she yawned toward me in the window. I saw blueberries that cost $7 for a half pint. But the strangest thing of all was at the AxMan surplus store on University Avenue. That store has a lot of weird stuff such as bowling pins for $4.75 each and radio components and ropes and chains and yards of burlap on a huge roll. The strangest thing came near the end of our excursion, close to the check out desk. At AxMan they have a life size (my size anyway) statue of Jesus. He is barefoot and wearing a robe. And his head (wait for it) bobbles. I know because I bobbled it. Around his neck he wears a sign that reads, "Take it Easy on Jeezy." And guess what I said out loud when I saw it? "Oh. My. God."
