Trying out a slightly different format for the "How was your week in the US?" thread. I'm including a question in the title to spark conversation, but also feel free to comment about your week in general without answering the question.

At any rate, I saw a weird mutant dandelion that had a super wide stem and 4 heads, as seen in the picture. It's probably an omen, like a goat with 2 heads or something.

I witnessed an older (late 50s) white male coworker tell a young (early 20s) Puerto Rican female coworker who happened to be sweeping that she was "pretty good with that broom". I thought it was pretty weird.

I actually disagree lol, sweeping is such a simple task that you can really only be bad at it imo
