Something about the recent hot weather has made the little old ladies of Ellensburg act very oddly. I just came back from making some rounds and saw a LOL (little old lady) complete with white fuzzy hair dressed in dark earth tones, crouched behind a bush, and watching the drive through of the local Jack in the Box through a pair of binoculars.

A couple of weeks ago I saw a similar LOL complete with flower dress sitting on the porch of the local tattoo parlor (the entrance of which is surrounded by graphitti advertising their abilities, which is a rare thing in this little farming community) holding a nearly empty bottle of Jack Daniels. A double take didn't suffice with either of these, a quadruple take was needed and yes it was as I saw it. Could've been the same LOL (the two locations are within a few blocks), but still very unexpected behavior.
