Bicycler or what?????

I had an odd experience last evening. I had my two dogs out for exercise and necessities. We were standing in the rear of the driveway that runs between by residence and the old balloon frame house on the western side that I use for storage. The driveway is narrow between the two structures. From where I was standing I could see a portion of the street that runs in front of our house. This street is a historic portion of the Old National Road. Coming into view was a bicycle ridden by a lean boy in his early teens. My dogs started, preparing to bark, when the boy and the bicycle simply disappeared. The bicycle had not crossed in front of my house. It simply disappeared. My dogs obviously saw it too. They reacted but it passed so quickly that their reaction turned to confusion or puzzlement. It threw me for a moment and I would have thought I halluscinated it if the dogs hadn't reacted to it. There was no fade out, the figure simply disappeared. It was a standard bike like we all rode in the 1940's and 50's. The boy was dressed in long sleeved shirt and regular pants. Who knows?????

Curtain half jumped off window

This may be perfectly explainable. This occurred at the old store that my wife and I run in a small Ohio village. We have been in this store for about three years. There is one rather high up the wall window that looks into an old office that we presently use as a layaway room. On the outside of the building the ground slopes uphill so the window is well positioned for anyone snooping around. So one of the first jobs I had was placing a curtain over that window. The curtain was fastened in place using the standard curtain rods and hooks. The curtain was solidly in place and as it is rather high (on the inside)it has not been bothered by anyone in three years. Customers could not reach this curtain without at least a step stool, not that they would even want to. Last Monday I was coming out of a portioned off work area that is adjacent to the rear salesroom and my wife was returning from getting some item from the backroom. A noise startled us both and we looked up at that window just as the curtain jumped a couple of inches into the air and the right hand side of it slumped toward the floor. We both jumped. At the time there were no customers in the store. We both remarked about the curtain jumping into the air before it fell. I moved some merchandise from beneath the window and got the stores folding ladder and went up to replace the curtain. Everything was intact. I used the curtain hooks to replace the curtain back over the rod. The hooks are not tight so the curtain could be slid open or shut. Of course we keep it shut. As to what made that curtain jump off the rod, I have no idea.
