What I Saw

A few days ago I saw something wonderful. I was driving along the street, minding my own business, when I looked to my left, and this was what I saw:

There was a man in a business suit, he was in his late 40s or early fifties. He had a scruffy beard that was completely at odds with his immaculate suit, and his bald head. On his feet (even more at odds) were a pair roller blades; his pant legs were tucked into each boot to prevent them from flapping around in the wind.

So, imagine all of that. It's a very strange picture. But it gets even better. The man wasn't working too hard to move forward because he was being pulled on his rollerblades....by a poodle. A prissy and well manicured poodle.

This man was taming the wilds of Provo, mushing along without a care... with a poodle fueling his locomotion.

It was beautiful.

Little things like that make life great.

Today I want to salute this man and his flair for the ridiculous.
