    Bob might be a hare too late.

    With the amount of red meat & empty carbs that Bob’s been eating, ‘Fast’ wasn’t ever an option.

    In the early 70s I worked in a camera store. We had one elderly man who would come in every week to drop off a roll of film to be developed while looking at the film from the previous week and deciding which ones to have prints made of. He would visit his elderly friends who couldn’t; get out and take the prints to keep them in touch with each other. One time he came in while the store was crowded. He was such a nice man that I told him that I’d be right with him. He replied,“That’s okay. I’ve got time.” I thought to myself, “If he’s got time why am I rushing so much?”

    I’m envisioning a new “revised” The Tortoise and the Hare fable with a different outcome and a different moral.

    Tortoise and Hare stare at the start line and think “Why am I doing this. We all saw the Bugs Bunny cartoon and know how it comes out”.

    Whether a bunny or a tortoise, find what you do best and stay with it. Worrying about what the other guy is doing is unproductive and depressing.

    Bob is actually one of the brighter ones to notice. When I worked in Washington DC, I used to observe people on my commutes. I don’t remember anyone smiling. Then a homeless man came into the metro rail car I was in (on a Monday morning, no less). “Smile everybody!” he exclaimed. It got a smile out of me while I was thinking, “He’s only happy because he doesn’t go to work.” But in the entire time I was there, it didn’t seem like anyone ever stopped to notice their surroundings.

    A fable-ous cartoon, a sop to Aesop.

    Looks to me like Bob’s got all the time in the world. Of course, now that I’m retired, every day is a holiday. Oh, yeah, pull the other one!

    You know, I’ve learned over the years, sometimes it harder work to put the brakes on than it is to gun the engine and go. The trick to success is to know when is which.

    Actually, a pedestrian crosswalk is REALLY the last place to slow things down. As you hobble across the street, there is little protection in a (California) law that you still have the right of way, even after the light has changed. While this is based on the sensible notion that people cannot levitate, few motorists are going to see it that way.

    Best one I saw was a retired guy with his dog. The dog held a sign in his mouth that said SMILE. He waved as people drove past on their way to work. He made a lot of people happy

    It is a bad idea to slow down when you are crossing a street. Get to the other side and out of traffic as fast as you can.

    Why would the story of the hare and the tortoise make him want to slow down? I know the tortoise won the race in the fable. But in real life going slow doesn’t get you there faster. That should be a cautionary tale about not goofing off like the hare did.

    And then a basketball game broke out where there was no shot clock and both teams used the “Four Corners” offense!
