To Think That I Saw It On Boylston Street

[theodosia]

I love working in Copley Square which is as nice a downtown area as you could ask for, not to mention that our office building windows overlook Boylston Street, a major boulevard that regularly sees parades, demonstrations, and the occasional motorcade, plus one-off sights like guys on sidewise bicycles... or what I saw yesterday, in front of the new-ish Borders Bookstores, there was a horse hitched to one of the iron posts that I've always assumed were decorative.

I put on my glasses, and discovered that its saddle was decorated with Boston Police id, so that answered one question... but where was the rider? I mean, I know they have to dismount somewhere, occasionally, but I've never seen one tied up on the street like that. (A number of passersby were rather blase about walking past a horse, I have to say. Especially, this was a large horse, as the BPD almost exclusively use Belgians.)

I got called away for a few minutes, because, DUH, I was at work -- and when I got back, I was pleased to see the cop had returned and was getting set up to take off again... and then I noticed that now the saddle now had a small Borders plastic bag neatly attached to it.

So now I know what at least one BPD horse cop does on his break.
