large mammal

i see an older gentleman at his house every once in a while on my way home from work. he is VERY large...extremly overweight. in the past week i have seen him numerous times laying in his driveway. he is working on things. he lays while he works on his leaf-blower....he lays while he paints his cabinet doors....he lays while he cleans his floormats. it is a sight to see all the things he needs to finish each job all organized neatly around him....paint trays and brushes, cleaners of all kinds, and tools...all within arms reach. i find it a little more than troublesome.

well, today i saw him in his front yard sitting in a chair raking leaves....a perfect rake-length semi-circle surrounding him (not to mention the other circles spaced throughout the yard causing a very crop-circle-like feel). i would like to think that maybe he has a condition other than extreme obesity halting his ability to do simple things....but for some reason, i feel that any condition he has is a direct result of his being a 500+ lb mammal. i have never seen such a thing, and i felt guilty for immediately thinking he needed to, at the VERY least, stand while raking.

ok, now that i have vented, i feel better....and skinnier than ever.
