on the way home i see beezus under the train tracks and go left to avoid. we pause by the ticket window and pose by the frozen waterfall for a picture and of course beezus is right there and chuck lunges and barks ferociously and i reel the kid in fast. there's a certain shame when a dog goes crazy. it makes you feel so ineffectual. after all this time. on the way out chuck went crazy on a dog coming in the building and somebody looked at me aghast and i thought it's just a barking dog for fuck sake, people do a lot worse, though i gotta admit i get bummed especially when i'm tired, but hey, nobody killed anybody. nobody got hurt.
