Rush hour around here begins after supper.
Hank is the first to speed down the path to the back 40,
with George, Alan and Lucy following too closely behind him.
Traffic flows smoothly until Hank makes an abrupt stop to talk to the lady with the camera.
George: Use your signals, why don't you?
George: I hate the way he drives.
Hank: I hate the way they tailgate.
Traffic is bumper to bumper but moving steadily...
...until the big guy brakes again.
George: Oh, for cryin' out loud. MOVE IT!
Lucy: I hope the cops don't catch me driving on the shoulder.
George: He's swerving all over the place!
Alan: Stay in your lane!
Hank: Hrrmph. Bunch of backseat drivers. What do they know?

So the pictures aren't that great and neither is the commentary. For the funny part of this post, you have to imagine the lady with the camera sprinting down the path as fast as her short legs will carry her to get in front of the procession, then turning around, catching her breath, snapping a few shots, then sprinting down the path again, turning around, snapping a few shots, etc., all the while muttering under her breath, "I'm so glad nobody is watching this."
Great encore post. I love how they follow the path. :) Hope you all have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteBut WE're watching you! And laugh all the way.

That highway has sure worn down over the years with all the foot traffic.
ReplyDeleteBest always,
and we are all glad you are out their sprinting for photos... i do so love watching these guys... to funny trailing each other....
ReplyDeleteSo glad you do this for us who will never live your life !Enjoy your photos and comments immensely.
ReplyDeleteIt amazing how traffic jams will be anywhere even on the 7MSN. It's a good thing you don't have traffic signals and signs, what a mess that would be?
ReplyDeleteI don't hve a traffic jam at feeding time. The cats "herd" me to the food and I better not think of making a break for it.
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that they follow along the path that they've worn down. Of course, picturing the photographer running ahead and snapping pictures is a funny visual too.
ReplyDeleteI totally loved the pics and the commentary! Again, I was thinking, where does she come up with this crazy stuff!
ReplyDeleteWhat are you talking about? The commentary is great!!! My hat's off to you, gal.... you just keep delivering. So many blogs fall by the way but we can always, always depend on you! I still remember how stinking excited I was when Miss Lucy was coming to her new home. I bet I checked your blog 20 times that day..... Thanks Again!
ReplyDeleteYou have too much fun out there in the dusty ville that you call home.
ReplyDeleteLove it! What a fun post. You had me chuckling
ReplyDeleteReally funny!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite the traffic-trench!
The well used path and the fact that they don't go around Hank tickles me. There must be a 7MSN rule book they go by. Love this post.
ReplyDelete"Six-ear pileup" - wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteI have a blind one that adds rear end collisions to these parades :-)
ReplyDeleteMy sister got me hooked on your blog. I check it out daily and this latest one made laugh through it all. My dog Rex, who is sitting on the table just came over to see what was so funny on the oomputer. Your blog makes me smile everyday. Helen
ReplyDeleteWhat Teri said. Every single word of it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with so many of the above comments! I wish I was living your life. You are so funny and I adore your four-legged family. Your blog is a wonderful escape to come to.
ReplyDeleteI always leave with a smile.
Thank you.
We appreciate your efforts for just the right photos.
ReplyDeleteaha...that's why Hank was in a hurry.... You were running and he thought something fun or exciting was about to happen...
ReplyDeleteit's funny they all just stay in the well won rut instead of fanning out and walking anywhere ....
