Snapshot

Filed under: Life As We Know It, — bsag @ 06:13 PM

A snapshot from my cycle commute home on Friday:

An elderly gent is walking through the park with his portly, grizzled, leg-at-each-corner labrador. They are side by side, ambling along at the same, easy pace. It has just stopped raining, and the man furls his golfing umbrella, casually offering it to his dog. Without breaking stride, the dog takes the umbrella in his mouth and carries it. They stroll on, as they probably do every day, taking each others’ presence for granted in the best possible way.

    And how utterly English, in the best way.

    This story begs two questions:

    1) How short was the man, or

    2) How tall was the dog?

    No, three questions:

    3) Did they each have an umbrella?

    Maybe I've spent too much time in the sun today and I'm cranky, but I've got a negative comment for ya. smile

    How much javascript do I have to allow just to see an image? There is JS from four different domains going on here, and I can't tell which one to enable to view the snapshot. Fail.

    kevin, there is no image other than the one you create in your mind, and there is no amount of javascript that can do it for you wink
