I was just thinking about this yesterday. I rode down a dead end street to look at the bay, a street I've ridden on probably 100 times. I noticed a cross street named "Cookie Lane." Of course that had me thinking about cookies for the next 10 miles but even weirder, was why had I never noticed it before?

I started the ride with a warm up loop around my development - just a 1/2 mile loop. At the back half I saw 6 deer in someone's front yard. They started to run back to the woods, but maybe they never saw a cyclist before, cause halfway there, a couple of them stopped, and turned to look at me - just to stare. I had to laugh. Now it is not uncommon to see deer around the neighborhood at dusk in the wintertime when no one is out and about, but yesterday was 66o, sunny, and lots of people and cars around and it was 2pm. Very odd indeed.
