I have finally captured a photo of Poway’s elusive Big Foot. I have been waiting to snap his picture for a year or two…
Somewhere in our neighborhood lives a boy who a few years back got a unicycle, perhaps for his birthday, Christmas or maybe Chanukah. (potAto, potAHto) I would see him riding on his way to school on occasion, if I was lucky. I know not where he lives, and believe me, I’ve asked. (ok, so I asked one neighbor girl who goes to the same Jr. high and she has no idea. I feel I have done a thorough investigation on the matter…. I don’t want to appear to be a stalker of a pre-teen boy) As the years passed and as he grew, he got a larger unicycle, perhaps for Kwanza or, for his bar-mitzvah. Well, I knew if I wanted to get his picture I had to be well prepared and act fast. You see, next school year he will start attending the local high school. He can’t possibly ride that unicycle all the way, we don’t live close enough. (or maybe he will have to get up extra early to get there) Anyway…time was running out. With only 2 weeks left of school, I knew I had to be on the ready at all times. I sometimes catch a glimpse of the boy after I drop Rose and David at school. 1 or 2 times earlier this year I saw him but cursed myself for not having the camera with me. So a few weeks back with Joey in tow, we set out to capture the elusive unicycle boy. We dropped the kids off at school and headed back home. We turned the corner into our neighborhood and pulled over. I told Joey to be on the look out. With my window rolled down and camera at the ready, we waited to get the shot. We waited and waited and waited. After approximately 3 minutes he was nowhere to be seen. Drats! He probably had already made his way to school. And so the last days of school went….always on the lookout for my 1 or 2 minute window of opportunity with unicycle boy and then it happened… 2 days in a row…right there in front of me at the intersection waiting to cross while I waited to turn…
UNICYCLE BOY!
