Things that shock, amuse and amaze me (Part 3)

I heard of signs along highways about moose crossing or some other animal like the elk. But can you imagine seeing signs about cat crossing in the city? Yes! I actually saw that sign board, right under the usual pedestrian crossing one. The background is yellow, and has one mama cat with two kittens followng her. Cat crossing. Amazing!

I'm also amazed at how slow my reaction was to the alarm yesterday. The alarm in the clean room rang yesterday afternoon, while I was doing some lab work. And the first thing that came into my mind when I heard it was, "Oh, an alarm. Oh well. Time to continue pouring the epoxy into the mould." 5 seconds later, "An alarm? S***, I need to leave this place!" And as expected, I was one of the last ones out of the place. Although I had been told about it, it just didn't register in my brain that I should leave when I heard the rings.

I'm rather lucky I think. Two piles of snow slid from the roof of a building while I was walking to the bus stop this morning. At the same time. One directly in front of me, and the other behind. I was right smack in the middle of the two. What luck! A few seconds earlier or later, and I would have been hit by the falling snow. I wonder how it would have felt. Good thing it wasn't icicles too.
