Makes Life Easier… or maybe not! – CFFC

I had a scroll through my gallery to see if I had anything that would fit this week’s CFFC (Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge) on Dan Antion’s blog; nofacilities.com

I knew I’d have something because I love taking photos of old things.

I found this old cash register, which at the time was an invention that made life easier for tradespeople. Of course, things have come a long way since then. Scan, tap your card or your phone, and now we have self-service check-outs.

I took this photo in Fitzpatrick’s Castle Hotel in Dalkey, Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin

Then I came across a short video that my daughter recorded on her phone. We were driving through town one evening a few weeks ago, and saw this guy on what seems to be a homemade Dr Suess-type bicycle. Perhaps we could call it a reinvention of sorts.

This is a ‘foto’ challenge, so I took a couple of screenshots. Not great quality. I’ve included the video too, though, for your entertainment.

I still have questions about this strange bicycle. Who is he? Why did he build this bike? How did he get on? How did he get off? Did he get off? Where is he now? This keeps me awake at night!

Click on this fabulous foto if you’d like to see more invention pics or, take part yourself.
