Seen this first week of September 2007:

• A store sign thermometer with a reading of 505 degrees Fahrenheit. Climate change could be worse than we thought.
• An elderly woman, age 75 or more, with hair dyed a shade between lilac and lavender, a color that would put any 1980s punker to shame.
• A pink jet, flying low overhead. The CEO of Mary Kay Cosmetics?
• A young woman wearing a skirt with an embroidered flower and a Superman T shirt. Why not Batman?
