the weird on wheels

I just got back from taking Inti for her mid-day walk. It's a short (perhaps 1.5 mile) circuit that ends at the mailbox. A brief part of the walk is out on the main drag, so to speak. An elderly fellow on a scooter (complete with helmet) came tooling towards us and then cut off to head down to the beach. When he turned I noticed that between his legs, on the deck of the scooter, was a smooth fox terrier, leaning appropriately for the turn. It made me smile.

Then just as we turned up Foxfield towards the mailbox, the same fellow came coasting down the hill. There were several cars at the intersection so we stopped and Inti sat. I noticed the old fellow wore goggles. Then I noticed that the dog did, too.

That made me laugh. I have GOT to get this guy's picture.
