Un-evening Walk

I was taking an evening walk tonight and noticed an elderly woman pushing a baby carriage along the sidewalk toward me.

I thought, Hmm... I wonder if that's her grandchild.

As we passed each other I noticed that it wasn't (I just got the feeling that about half of my readership just guessed what I'm about to say) a baby in the stroller.

It was a dog.

She was walking her dog.

Had it been earlier in the day... as in, not nighttime... I probably could have filed that away as a cute, quirky, old-person thing.

But it wasn't daytime, and our paths happened to cross under the strange glow of a streetlamp...

... so instead of being cute, it was just weird.
