Another Errant Jacket

A little while back (January 8) I posted a couple of images of a jacket I found resting on the road, just randomly lying there as if dropped by an absentminded owner.  And remarked on the resemblance its silhouette bore to a cat lying on its side.  Well, today I happened to be cutting across a neighborhood parking lot on the way home when I sighted this child's jacket on the sidewalk.  Later, while checking out its images at home, I was struck by its resemblance to a dog lying prone.  Especially a Schnauzer or one of those boxy-headed Terrier dogs.

Two jackets randomly dropped on the pavement, found with the space of a month.  Already unusual enough -- but then it's first a cat, then a dog.  Cat and dog.  Makes me think of the idiom "Raining cats and dogs".  Wonder if  this is some Supreme Mind's way of letting me know that we're in for some really heavy rains this year?  Or  just me being a solipsist?  Maybe.

Errant Specs

This one threw me for a loop.  Small trinkets and doodads can be dropped accidentally, and a child's toy can be left behind and forgotten about.  But eyeglasses?  Who accidentally loses the glasses off their face without noticing?  Or if these were intentionally left behind for whatever reason, I think there would at least be some signs of deliberation -- like, being put aside neatly folded and resting on a bench, or maybe hung on a fence or some such, instead of just being thrown out on a random sidewalk.  But anyway, why would anyone do such a thing?  It's not as if eyeglasses were cheap and disposable.  Did someone get into an argument, became all het up and fling them away in anger?  Were they perhaps snatched off a victim by some delinquent, then chucked away in a random spot?  It just seems so odd to see them simply tossed out in the middle of a sidewalk.

EDIT:  I took a closer look at the image, and it looks like one of the lenses is missing.  But even so, why wouldn't you just get fitted with a new lens, instead of throwing away the whole thing..?

Bears a curious resemblance to a dying stray cat...

Toys, figurines, shoes, even a pigeon wing, and now a jacket with fur trim.

What's next?
