Friday, August 20, 2004 Made the drive into Montpelier earlier today. Parked the car, decided I didn't feel like carrying my camera as I went from one place to another. Left it out of view on the floor. Bad decision. Not because of theft. Because of missed photo opportunities. The first: a slender, eccentric-looking 70-something with white hair, a feisty air and a C. Everett Koop style moustacheless beard. Wearing a t-shirt with the large, emphatic message 'OLD AGE AIN'T FOR SISSIES!' The second: an even more slender, inoffensive-looking 80-something woman seated in a folding lawn chair, wearing a t-shirt that read 'Raging Grannies.' The guy got into a Lincoln Continental and took off. The woman didn't look like she was going much of anywhere. I hustled back to my car, grabbed the camera, trotted back to get a pic or two of the raging granny. In the few minutes I was away she disappeared, folding chair and all. I have no idea how she moved so fast -- someone must have picked her up and carted her off. Now that I think about it, photos of those two would have been a perfectly matched set. Bugger. Lesson: carry the goddamn camera around. Madrid, te echo de menos. rws 7:40 PM [+]
