My ride into downtown was normal, nothing wacky happened... However on the ride home I had this odd man who looked about 75 get on and sit next to me. He had a very long ZZ Top style beard except his had been turned into 2 long and very dirty dreads. He also was carrying a plastic shopping bag of sorts which looked like it had been drug through the mud. Now when I see dirty things like that I get weirded out as I have seen one to many people take a dump or pee themselves while downtown waiting for the bus so I got nervous, maybe it was a bag of poo... Thankfully, as we stopped at the next stop, he got up and switched seats so he could sit alone. Who knows, maybe to check out his poo bag... I dunno...
Then once I got back into my neighborhood I decided to get off and grab a drink at a local bar while I waited for a phone call (not that that matters to the story). After about an hour or so I gave up on waiting for that call and headed back to the bus stop. To my delight a semi crazy man in one of the mexican style blankets was doing a little dance for me to Led Zepplin. He kept walking back and forth in front of me, stopping every now and then to do a little air guitar solo for me. Once he even told me that this wasn't on the radio... but I honestly didn't know what he was saying so I just ok and put my ipod earbuds back in. He then decided to jump and kick the tree a few times and then resumed his solo... He even did an interpretive dance which only can be described as drawing a line on the ground and then pretending to wash his hands to then bust into another air guitar solo... It kept me enteratined for the 20 or minutes I waited. I even snapped a picture of him in mid dance. Thanks sir for the show!It's funny how someone who is coming off crazy can bring folks together. All the people who walked by looked at me and smiled as if to say "Wow, have fun with that" - I was the only one there with him...
