Over on the right hand side of this blog there is a LINKS section.
See the one named ABBEY ROAD?
Well, basically it's a web cam pointed at the famous crossing made famous by The Beatles on their classic(though not as good as Rubber Soul or Revolver) Abbey Road album.
That webcam shows the Abbey Road crossing 24 hours a day, every day.
And it's become a tourist attraction. And folks tend to walk in the crosswalk and cross kinda like the Beatles did.
Four people will get in the middle of the street, pose all Beatle-ee, and then a friend will snap a picture.
This goes on every few minutes.
Some people do it on their wedding day in wedding attire. Some people dress up like the Beatles.
And every so often someone won't know where they are and they just cross the street in a diagonal fashion outside of the famed Beatle Crosswalk!!
You're at Abbey EFFIN Road!!! Cross the goddamn street (road) like a goddamn BEATLE!!
Crossing in a diagonal fashion IS NOT THE BEATLE WAY!!!
Some guys will cross it all serpentine.
It's Abbey Road. Cross that street (road) with your back straight, arms to your side, a nice wide Beatle gait!!
It's The Beatle Way!
Do I need to mention it's a law?
A Beatle law?
No, walk this way...this way...

(I have pictures of my folks doing the Beatles walk when they were in England...I thought it was just about the cutest thing they've ever done and I'm not even sure why.)
