Not only should he have not taken the camera inside, he forgot to remember
all that wonderful childhood advice to chew your sushi before you swallow
it.
As for the boxers, that's probably not a bad idea Eric, but then what would
Ted clean his lenses with? We can't have him taking his pants off in public
to clean his lenses...or could we? I think we might best wait until senility
kicks in, trip up to Canada, and THEN convince him it would be a good idea.
We could just kick back and photograph the action. Not only is that a LUG
trip worth taking, but an excellent street photography assignment as well
:-)
Cheers,
Gary
