Noted a chalk drawing of a penis on the road while biking home from work.
Scarcely remarkable, I know, but still I found it compelling. I was struck by the elaborate, hieratic stylization of the glyph -- it was a simplified version of the Penny-Arcade "canonical dong", as seen in http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2
I stopped and tried to take a picture, but some kids came out of the nearest house and frightened me away. I wanted to ask them if they'd drawn the graffito, and if so whether P-A was responsible, but in the end I decided that waylaying schoolchildren and ranting about penile orthography would be unwise.
