No arms, no legs, no problem

On my walk earlier this week I noticed an odd similarly between a couple of passerbys. First, I passed a man with no arms who was out for a walk. I don't often see people with no arms. He was wearing a messenger bag across his chest (I guess a backpack or purse wouldn't work very well) and I wondered how it got it on. I guess he just stuck his head through the strap and shimmied through.

On the other side of the river I saw a pigeon with only 1 leg. It was hopping around a pecking at the ground just like any other pigeon, not at all inhibited by his lack of a leg.

I guess the message for the day was that if a man with no arms and a pigeon with one leg can get out and exercise around the river, everyone else should be able to as well. No excuses for not exercising!
