So I used to walk Becca Gong home almost every night.  We were host cousins and she lived about 10 or 15 minutes away.  It would be dark and I had no problem doing it.  Plus the girl gets lost at the drop of a hat.  One time I told her bye and watched her walk away from her house which was essentially across the street.  I try not to let her live that down.

So we saw a lot of really weird things on this one stretch of street.  About three blocks worth.  In the rain it would be a lake and in the winter it was a sheet of ice covered in snow.  Despite my hysteria over ice I still went, let's pretend Kazakhstan has made me a gentleman.  That sounds classy.

One night we were walking and we noticed something kind of strange in front of us.  This guy was holding two girls hands.  Like one on each side.  This was strange.  Now its not unusual to see three or more people with linked hands here, but usually its all girls.  Or a girl holding her boyfriend's hand and her BFF's in the other.  That's weird but OK, I suppose...  Well this guy was trying to be a pimp and we couldn't stop laughing at how ludicrous this situation was.  Becca tried to get her camera out to take a photo but we were too far and it was too dark.  Sad face.

Well, the next night I was walking her home again and BAM!  They're back.  All three of the weirdos.  Holding hands walking around like a doofy trio in love.  This was not the brother walking his sisters' hands stroll or even hand hold.  There was something suggestively date-y about it.  So second chances don't come often so we ran up to catch them and took several pictures from behind.  Sadly miracles like this are apparently like vampires and are just impossible to photograph.  Thankfully I can type about it at least.
