weird sightings

If you were a follower of my blog from many years ago (before I had the girls) You might remember that I like to post when I see something really strange. Like the day I saw the old lady on a Harley. (Seriously - she was like 70 with blue hair, a polyester pantsuit, and orthopedic shoes. Riding a Harley. Grandma on a hog probably tops the weird sighting list.)

Anyhoo, do people use HAM radios much anymore? I mean, really, that often? I saw this little tiny Ford Escort today with HAM radio plates. Not so weird I know, what was weird was the GINORMOUS antenna on top of the car. It was like they were trying to contact Jupiter. The antenna had to be 6 feet tall, I kid you not. And part of it was probably as big around as a soda can. Stuck smack in the middle of the roof of the car. Weird. Who do they communicate with that they need an antenna that big??
