You\u2019d heard of The Ides of March? These are The Odds of April (and click most of them to enlarge).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the day after April Fool\u2019s Day, I leaned out of my living room window and took probably the weirdest shot ever of a yellow Mustang. I didn\u2019t know he was going to park, but stayed with it just to see what resulted.<\/span><\/p>\n

The front end looks odd because I was using the PANO left-to-right motion and I couldn\u2019t turn the camera to follow the car\u2019s motion because that would have also turned the parking lot under it.<\/span><\/p>\n

So – to make up for the strange look of the front end – I took\/inserted a regular picture of the car after it was parked.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

APRIL 4<\/span><\/p>\n

When was the last time you saw a 34-wheeler school bus?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

APRIL 5<\/span><\/p>\n

Standin\u2019 on the corner, watchin\u2019 all the ? go by\u2026\u2026\u2026..<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

APRIL 8<\/span><\/p>\n

This time, I\u2019m on the corner by Sears (two blocks from home) and busy shooting something else that had long time gaps of nothing, so I did this while I was waiting around. Good use of my time, I\u2019d say.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

APRIL 11<\/span><\/p>\n

These were taken in four different locations.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Panning right to left for the bus on Main St means that any car going in the opposite direction gets scrunched:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2,3. Shown are two very different vehicles – and directions – on State St. In the second one, you can see my apartment on the far right (top floor with living room picture window):<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. I think the car\u2019s color makes this picture:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

APRIL 16<\/span><\/p>\n

The long and short of it near famous White Manna Hamburgers on River St (about 4 blocks from home):<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Whaddaya mean you never heard of White Manna? Just ask Guy Fieri:<\/span><\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=g9RRsUbDV0U<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

About a block away, I found this guy with his 30-wheeler (or thereabouts) scooter:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From the same corner, I shot this strange vehicle with some creepy-looking triplets checking me out:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

APRIL 22<\/span><\/p>\n

Stanley Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemer on Main St:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Crazy trucks on River St:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You want crazy? This truck\u2019s about to plow right into itself:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This guy just pulled out of a parking lot:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019m guessing this was a flatbed tow truck\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026whatever it is, it looks cool (and if you look closely in the upper left, you can see White Manna\u2019s signs):<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is all one picture, but it looks like Hackensack Parking Enforcement is chasing a much-longer version of itself:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

APRIL 27<\/span><\/p>\n

When one flag (far right) becomes 26:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

APRIL 30<\/span><\/p>\n

Four more from the same corner:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SELFIE-SIGNOUT:<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not into selfies, but it\u2019s not every day that you get to take them right on Main St as a parade of ridiculously-long vehicles passes behind you (that has to be a first):<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

(taken on April 24)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There\u2019ll be an interesting twist (he says confidently) in the next bunch.<\/span><\/p>\n
