Others on cable tv chase Sasquatch.
It took Mulder and Scully several seasons on Fox to find that the "truth really was out there" of alien existence; at least I think they did.

| The famous Wienermobile parked in Providence, RI |
For me, I finally saw the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. My great white whale dressed as a 30 foot hot dog in a bun on wheels. I've know about the infamous rolling hot dog since seeing it on commercials thinking: "what is that?"
My interest increased during my time living on the West Coast while chatting up a friend of mine who hailed from San Diego who knew the actual driver of the hot rod tube steak. Crazy stuff.
Now, some 16 years later and living in the Northeast, I got word that the Wienermobile was spotted in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts. But what really were the odds that I would actually come face to face with this freak of a machine (apparently there are more than one) for however long it was planning on being in the area.
Well, cross it off the bucket list. While waiting at a stop sign, imagine my surprise only to see the Wienermobile barreling down Gano Street in Providence.
Oh yes, I'm following it. Nobody would believe me. I needed a photo.
Luckily the "Wiener" decided to pull into the old Radisson Hotel in India Point and like an obsessed fan, I managed to capture the beautiful machine with a series of photos I'll cherish forever.
Well, at least for a day that is.
