town is important to me, so it is not a surprise that I find myself at this
24 hour diner type place. We are seated next to a picture window facing
a busy city street an an "interesting" part of town. "This is a great place
to people watch." the nice waitress mentions as she takes our order.
I can see why as I spy a man with a cat. A long slinky black cat on a leash.
The man, a dreadlocked fellow with seemingly a lot of time on his hands,
was pacing by the bus stop, the cat, his constant companion. It was a
tender scene.The cat obviously adored him and he returned the cat's
affections.
My attention was turned to the asian woman with a strained look and a
shopping cart full of bottles and cans. She almost loses her top bundle
as she passes a gesturing buffoon in orange. He dances a jaunty wee
dance as he gesticulates wildly to a man who resembles M.M.'s brother.
Orange man is full of story and enthusiasm and then just as abruptly
as he came....poof..he leaves, running across the street and into traffic
waving his arms around as if he's flying.
The sign holder regards the scene cooly and I just laugh. the man in
orange seemed to be having a good time. He is gone now and I am left
with my bacon cheeseburger, which received a 6.5 by the way.
