Curious Beginnings

WELCOME to the the newest member of the wide open internets! Known affectionately by its creator as Curiouser. But formerly, we shall be called Curious Sightings. A little explanation, perhaps, is in order?

We've all been there. Stuck at a red light, fingers drumming an impatient cadence on the steering wheel, our eyes fixed on the adjacent light, waiting for its persistent green to flick to yellow so you know very soon you can be on your way again. Your foot hovers over the acceleration, and in instances like mine, your other waits at the clutch. The tedium of waiting seems to grow with each light you're forced to stop at, and this one has you especially on edge.

Now. This is where this blog's need to exist arrives from. Guess what - those red lights, that stop-and-go traffic, these places can be prime spots for sighting the most delightfully curious events. There is amusement in the world, all around us. We are immersed in funny, random, or interesting situations all the time, it's just that most of us don't realize it.

Well hopefully we here at CS can help you learn to look around! Every wednesday we'll have reader contribution stories - so watch what we do, and then submit your own! Look around. Strange things are happening everywhere. Some other ideas we're having, Freeway Friday - sightings of strange occurrences inside other cars around you. Anyway, we'll post more and you'll know what we mean soon enough.

So stay tuned! Hopefully you'll like what you see, both here and in your world.
