This is a man, jogging through the streets of Washington, D.C., shirtless, wearing what appears to be a rubber horse mask.
Washington, D.C. blog DCist was able to get a hold of the HorseMan (also known as Jimmy Kruyne), who told them that “he just wanted to brighten people’s moods on a dark, doom-filled day. ‘Little spontaneous jogging hopefully put a smile on people’s face before this awful storm,’ he says.”
I can only hope that the image of him high-stepping his way through an on-location shot by D.C.’s channel 4 is the enduring photograph of this whole “Dr. Frankenstorm’s Monster” mess.
You’re the centaur we needed on this day, Mr. Kruyne.

it won’t be. i’ve been to many of those eastern beachs and this is one mean storm. 80 mph winds, 8 ft higher water, heading up the hudson river. already tore up some board walk in atlantic city, and a pier in ocean city, maryland. jersey and new york will get serious flooding and the applachians are being pounded by snow. many more pix to come.
