Photo Found on Elmwood Ave., Burlington, VT

Walking home from work today, I found a baby picture on the ground near the corner of Elmwood Ave. and Pearl St. This is the second baby picture I’ve found there! It’s odd — not as odd as some guy putting a picture of baby he doesn’t know on his blog.

My theory is it’s near where people park when they go to the post office, many of them are opening mail or putting things in and taking things out of a purse, backpack, or wallet, so the chances of someone dropping something are high. Plus, the wind coming off of Lake Champlain blows down Pearl St. so there is a good chance of something being blown out of someones’ hands. My chances of finding these things are high because I walk by that spot at least four times a day.

I also have a paranoid theory that someone I know or a reader of this blog is planting photos for me to find. The route I walk everyday and my proclivity to pick up things off of the ground are well-known and well-documented on this site.
