    I wish I would have had a camera

    The family and I were in Italy for a couple of weeks and one day we were in Rome waiting to participate in a guided tour. I came across a building along a street with a door that appeared to have the largest knob I have ever seen a door have. Have to had been at least 6 inches in diameter and it was on a rather large and heavy wooden door.

    When I went to grab for my camera, I realized my wife had the other and I had left mine back in the hotel room. (V-8 palm to the head moment) Asked her if she was cool with me getting her camera to capture what I saw, I got a "Ever heard something so stupid, it gives you Forest Whitaker eye" look.

    Oh well, I will never forget to bring a camera on a tour again.

    Saw a few in France on our holliday trips going into the inner city where the houses are 800 - 1100 years old, many with original wooden doors and big knobs.

    Easy to open the door with hands full of shopping bags ;)

    A big knob, from Rome? Wasn't that a scene in "Life of Brian"?
