Triple Take

As I was driving into work today, I saw something that I don't usually see. There was a man walking on the side of the road. He was an older Caucasian gentleman, maybe 60-ish, I'd say. He was a little overweight, sort of like Santa, only a little smaller with less of a belly and more of a stocky build. He also had crazy white hair with crazy white side burns. He was wearing pants that were rolled up to just below his knees and no shoes. He was also wearing a large, woolen poncho that looked similar to a rug that you might find in a rug gallery in Sante Fe. He was topped off with a plain-looking sombrero, but he wasn't wearing it. It was on a string around his neck, hanging down his back. It took me several times of looking back at him before I could take in the full picture. I wonder where he was walking to.

Good thing he didn't see you. I'm sure he would have given you the bird too!
