This thread is the place to give brief descriptions of interactions with interesting objects: persons, places, or things.
Today, on the first day of the third leg of a two-year, cross-country walk, I saw a banana tree in someone's backyard a few miles outside of Mission, Texas. The bananas were small, green and unripe, and there was only a single bushel growing out of the tree, but it was still very interesting for me, having never seen a banana tree except in photographs.
Then, a mile or so further along the road I encountered a Mexican man sitting in his chair on the side of the road, watching as his sheep fed on the grass along the ditch and up the knoll near the road. I attempted conversation but he told me that he didn't speak English. There was one mature male among the flock and his spiral horns were very interesting indeed. I used my hands to ask the shepherd if I could pet them, but he used his hands to tell me that they would run off if I did(I think that's what he was attempting to communicate).
