I was working here at the computer when I looked up and out the window, which I admit I do more than I probably should.
A silver glint caught my eye. A split second later it was no longer a glint but a street light post toppling over. At the same time a car was driving by and in that second, the street light post and the car made a connection at the point where the back bumper was attached to the car. The car continued on but not far, dozens of feet maybe, lurching over onto the grass, nearly hitting a medium-size tree, and finally with the bumper torn completely off, to a stop on the sidewalk.
No one got hurt thankfully, but it was the first time that I've witnessed a car accident from start to finish.
Continuing with the strange theme, spouse is worried that his new baby "purple" tree will be mistaken by the landscaping guys as a bush so before he left for work today he did this:






Oh my. I hope they did a good job on your neighbours trees. :/

Good idea leaving a note for the landscaper. We actually hired some yahoos to prune our trees and they ended up pruning our neighbors' trees instead. If you can't be home, be clear.
