An Enormous Bug


This is a picture of an enormous bug that I found outside of the building where I lived last year. I was walking with a friend, I think it was Steve, and there it was, huge and shiny on the sidewalk.

I don't know what kind of bug it is, but I do know that when I took that picture, I had time to stop and look at it and wonder what it was.

Contrarily, I feel like if today I saw a giant shiny bug on the ground, I would have to run past it in order to prevent being swallowed by the giant tsunami of casebooks that is avidly pursuing me. But it's nice to remember that at one point I had the chance to stop and look, and I did.
