Arms Not Long Enough

This sculpture in front of the fly shop always makes me smile.  Although it's a fisherman trying to bait his hook I think a lot of us can relate to the feeling.

HI Diane, I had to laugh because that's what I do when I'm trying to read something without my glasses.. George always says: Do you want me to hold that book across the room????? ha ha

And whether it's a fishing hook or a needle and thread ---or a map on ATLAS, my arms definitely are not long enough. ha ha

Hugs,
Betsy

That is good. I have to wonder if the creator of this sculpture was working from experience.

Hah! Reminds me of trying to thread my needles! I almost have to do it from across the room! Thank God for needle threaders, maybe he could have used one!

Ha-Ha! Yes! I surely can relate. I can't even put on a bracelet or necklace that has a lobster hook because I can't see how to connect it. Now, where did I put my glasses? :) Have a bright and beautiful day. Tammy

That's cute..he's having to squint and focus so hard. Some of us can surely relate to that.
