Banana Jump
This was just one of those "WTF" moments. Only in Austin? Jeez, I hope so. Stopped at a red light, on a bridge, over Barton Creek, on Barton Springs road, I looked around. I had a beautiful view downstream to the hike-and-bike trail's footbridge over the creek. The clear water floated several canoes and kayaks and lots of joggers crossed the bridge.
Except one guy in a yellow shirt. He sat on the railing, legs dangling over. He looked one way, and then the next. Soon, he scootched over a couple of feet and then stood. He let his shirt unfurl and it dangled down to his ankles. A man, standing on a railing, suspended 20 feet over a creek, wearing a body length yellow shirt. And then, he reached behind his head and pulled on the hood. The pointed hood, with a black top. A man, standing on a railing, suspended 20 feet over a creek, wearing a body-length banana costume. No sooner than I thought "what the...?", the man jumped.
Then, the light turned green and I drove away.
