odd, you see?

Jessica and I were out today on a shopping expedition, of sorts, and I found myself noticing something that hadn't attracted my attention before.

There are Honda Odysseys all over the place. I'm not sure if this is the 'look for something fairly common and you'll find it' phenomenon, but there seem to be an awful lot of them on the road. Few miles went by without one parked in a nearby lot or passing us in another lane.

Jessica was getting annoyed, I think, as I continued pointing them out well after the novelty of the idea wore off.

I suspect that this will be like the rash of intresting novelty plates I saw last year or so. Eventually I'll stop noticing them, and then things will return back to so-called normalcy.

I must point out, however, that I pity anyone who buys an Odyssey, unless by chance it is a maroon one from two 'generations' ago, as those seemed to be the rarest both for age and for color. Most people drive the second most recent model in a beige or light grey, it seems.
