Pictures and Drinks

New Haven, 3/15/09

I was struck by the amount of picture-taking going on. Almost as strange as the way people were talking on their cell phones to someone else, not here, not at the parade. As though taking themselves away from their own uncontrolled experience (here at the parade) to the controlled experience of the phone call. But you have to admire a one-hand grip on a bottle of Guiness and a pint of Jamison's.
