First sight of 2008

I don't know if the stars were aligned but in any case, I was strictly concentrating on the garbage at dog's eye level. Once I looked at it standing up, the burst of laughter made a couple estranged tourists turn around to spot me...the garbage truck passing at just that moment and me snapping at that very second...well, let's just say I couldn't have planned it if I had tried. Analyze that as a message!
