People are Strange

Aaron and I have gone to the OSU library the last two nights to study. I am recovering from summer's complete lack of homework discipline, and Aaron has a test tomorrow and his boards in 3 months. Last night was fairly uneventful, but tonight Aaron reported seeing a guy washing his feet in the bathroom sink not once, but TWICE tonight. I'm talking like only an hour between washings. Could this be some sort of religious thing, or just strange behavior??
Then on my way out I see in a girl in a study cubicle, and I notice she has unusually frizzy hair, like it had been in tiny tight braids and was let free. Then I see that she is STRAIGHTENING HER HAIR absentmindedly as she studies. She kind of hid it as I walked by (twice just to make sure), but what would she do in a situation like that if someone she knew happened to see her? Awkward.
One more strange thing, as I was leaving The Reverend Andy (remember him Megan?) was exactly where he was last night as I left doing the exact same thing (unlocking his bike). It was very deja vu. I've seen him around town a dozen times, always in a black trench coat, always on his bike and always with no less than 4 plastic Grocery Outlet bags hanging from the handlebars. No wonder, as a culture we are obsessed with "reality TV". People do the strangest things. I'd love to see what that guy does in the course of a day.

That garden is wonderful, Indiana is famous for farming but I have never seen beets before (from the garden). Browsed some older posts, Your August hiking photos are Amazing.
