Last week I saw a helium balloon cross the road at the lights on a perfectly timed gust of wind. Today I saw four people trying to get into a GWiz electric car. They failed.
What's the best thing you've seen recently?

I was driving down the home stretch of my nearby freeway, precisely on the speed limit, a long queue of cars to my left waiting for the exit. As soon as I got past the exit, I would move my trusty, rusty Toyota into the slow lane.
Of course, some people are less patient. A spike-haired boy racer type behind me started flashing his headlights and making hand gestures, as clearly 100km/h (about 60 mph) was too slow for his customised Honda. Now, I understand the urge to fly past slowpokes, but clearly I was just trying to get past the jammed exit, and I wasn't going slowly, as such. He could wait.
I kept my pace.
The hooting started. I can't lipread, but I could tell what his flapping mouthparts were spitting at me. I made a conciliatory wave, nodding in acknowledgement of his predicament.
I reached the end of the queue, and slipped into the slow lane. Boy Racer screamed his pathetic tuned-and-slammed little car past me, actually looking back to make further enraged gestures and statements.
Right under the overpass.
Where I knew the camera was hidden.
"Poof" went the camera.
