Fat Man Basking

Today while I was driving back to ElGargantian for the second time I noticed a very fat man wearing a bright blue tshrit streached luxuriously in the sun on the side of the road. His moped was lying at a slightly skewed angle a few meters away from him as the traffic rolled by. It was a very odd place to be basking... and a very odd time of year. I was sitting in the car with the seat heater on and my fall coat, but there he was... like a giant blue whale on a browning green lawn in the crisp early fall air. Good for him, I thought!
