On Sunday, while the sun was out during the respite between blizzards, I ventured out with my camera to capture some of the images from Snowmageddon. As I waited on New York Ave. NW to cross 10th St NW, to get to the parking lot at the corner, a man driving a big black car passed slowly in front of me. He had his window rolled down and was looking at me. I smiled politely as he drove by. He then said, almost past me at this point,

“You have really beautiful . . .

. . . thighs.”

I was not expecting that finish to his sentence, and I just stopped dead in my tracks. He was already gone by the time what he said registered with me. All I could do was shake my head.
