The Weird & Wonderful World Of Tempe

We were at Home Depot this afternoon. Out to pick up some pumice for some cactus re-potting. It's supposed to be great for cactii. Though, even in cactii central (Arizona) it's not that easy to get your hands on, or so it would seem.

Anyways, as we were walking out, a bunch of guys cruising the parking lot yelled out to us, clearly from a hip hop band, trying to unload a copies of their CD, for a "donation". When I declined, the driver, hanging out the window quite seriously asked me why I didn't want their CD. Honestly? You're cruising around the Home Depot parking lot yelling out to strangers, from your car to buy your CD that they've never heard. Isn't the answer to the question obvious?

This certainly takes the whole DIY music thing to a whole new level. An insane one actually. And you know, on a Sunday afternoon the main contingent of people in The Home Depot were 60+ guys, with the exception of us and a few other younger couples. Of all the places to attempt this unsolicited self promotion of your hip hop band, The Home Depot parking lot on Baseline has got to be a tough sell.

You witness some loco shit in Tempe. But thus far, I think today's episode takes the cake as the most bizarre.
