Subj: [kl] The Guard
Date: Sun, 2 Jun 2002 18:07:45 -0400

This has nothing to do with music, but we've all seen the game where
tourists try to make a guard at Buckingham Palace crack a smile or move
their eyes or whatever.

CNN had a shot today of the hook-and-ladder engines driving into
Buckingham Palace during this morning's fire. Did you notice the
guard standing at his sentry box, standing tall and looking straight
ahead and seemingly oblivious to the commotion?

A classic image. I wonder how many people noticed or thought about it?

Cheers,
Bill
