When I saw this the other day, I was thinking bear? yeti? bigfoot? but I realize I am on the wrong continent with those assumptions. Ah me. Must be wind. I remember being in London, oh gosh it must be close to 20 years ago, after a windstorm knocked down 10 giant trees near my company's offices in Berkeley Square. I'd never seen anything like it. Thank you for visiting the half life of linoleum.
