To See New Englandly

The British Are Coming (or Going)

Today I was driving along the road which runs along the historic Battle Road in Lexington, MA. Usually I see runners or dog-walkers on the trail, but today this fellow caught my eye -- a lone man in an 18th century British soldier's uniform, carrying a musket and a walkie-talkie. I pulled over, jumped out of the car and asked if I could take his picture. He yelled something about me not being allowed to park on the side of the road then said, "Come back Patriot's Day for pictures!" He turned on his heel and marched off with a scowl. Hmph. Surly ol' Red Coat. No wonder they weren't too popular in these parts. I went ahead and shot him anyway.
