Harmonious Walking

The other day I was taking a stroll in my community park when I noticed this woman jogging with her headphones on and she almost tripped because of a pothole on the sidewalk. The sight was really funny but somehow, I controlled my laughter. Another guy passed me, walking with his headsets on.
