Time Lapse

Today I was driving on Boulder and saw a young man crossing the street in a riding outfit. Had the khaki-colored riding pants, boots to his knees and carrying a helmet/hat. Having recently watched Kate and Leopold my mind began to wander about him being out of place, perhaps lost in time from another era and then, as if on cue, he took off his shirt. I was sure, then, that the more appropriate allusion would be Collin Firth as Mr. Darcy in the BBC Pride and Prejudice. Perhaps this little man was lost and needed help. My light turned green and it didn't seem appropriate to continue to stare, slow down, or stop. I suppose I will never know if he was searching for his hole in the time continuum.
