1. Two Buddhist monks (at Walmart).
2. The St. John's Ambulance brought therapy dogs to meet the public. Much tail-wagging.
3. In a housewares store, a decorative throw pillow with a sequined design of a grinning skull in sunglasses. Near it, a sign: YES, WE DO BRIDAL REGISTRIES.
4. On the bus, an otherwise inconspicuous man (white, mid-sixties, shorts and a t-shirt) was wearing multiple large rings with turquoise and other blue and green stones. On closer inspection, he was also wearing a neck chain; but it didn't look like a decorative chain. It was the kind of chain you'd use for a dog's leash.
ETA -- also, those furry vests seem to me making a comeback.
