1: There was a man with a bicycle that had wreaths of garlic, onions and shallots hanging from the handlebars. He had a sign that said "Stop me and buy some."
And people did. There were at least three people running up to him like he was the ice cream man. He had a French accent. His onions looked a bit worse for the wear, but who am I to judge?
2: Yesterday, a man was playing beautiful accordian music beneath my building. The music floated all the way up to the fifth floor and filled the room with peace and joy. When I walked outside he was playing "La Vie En Rose."
3: When you go into a store, the salespeople ask, "Are you alright?" At first I thought it was because I look perpetually lost and confused, and sometimes appear as if I'm on the verge of barfing, but no, they ask everyone that.
