Bigfoot? In Ottawa?

I think I saw Bigfoot on the street last night, or maybe it was Chewbacca. And I suppose since it was almost a full moon, I shouldn’t dismiss the possibility of it being a werewolf should I? Whatever it was, it took me by surprise.

I was hurrying back to my apartment, walking head down at a pretty good clip. Imagine my surprise when I looked up and saw a human-like form walking towards me wearing a brown furry one-piece jumpsuit. I did a double take and tried not to stare. My first instinct was to look for a pair of eyes, but I couldn’t find any! His – and I assume it was a man because of his height – entire head and face were covered by headgear that looked like it was attached to the jumpsuit. It was a little disconcerting at first, but afterwards, I couldn’t help but chuckle and wonder, “What the hell was that?” Perhaps this person was just determined to not let the cold stop him from enjoying a Saturday night walk and found an old Halloween costume to keep him warm. If so, power to him! In any case, I can pretty much guarantee you I wouldn’t have met anything like it on the street where I lived before. Gotta love the city.
