Hey, it happened again today.  I’ve kept my eyes open for shoes on Ulric Street, and sure enough, finally there it is… one flip-flop showed up at the edge of the bicycle lane, a quarter of a mile up the street from where Fashion Hills Boulevard runs into Ulric.  The flip-flop is white, probably a woman’s, and it’s for the left foot.  There is only one. You can see it has been worn.

For a couple of months a man’s shoe stayed near the middle of the street a few hundred yards south of where Fashion Hills ends at Ulric.  My theory is that somebody is playing with my head… and everybody else’s head who is paying attention to such things.  Maybe I’m the only one who notices.  Anyway… there is was today!  One shoe… not two. In the past couple of years this is the fourth single shoe in the stretch of street from Friar’s Road up to the place where Ulric crosses Linda Vista Road… never a pair. If the pattern holds, this “shoe” will stay in the same place for a couple months, as many as six or eight months, and then it will suddenly have moved one day to be somewhere else on the road where it “will live” for awhile.  Then it will disappear altogether.  After it is gone, another shoe will appear somewhere else on the mile-long stretch of road.
