One of the interesting things about being of the road are the interesting people you meet. We met this fellow who said he lost his horse and needed a ride. We obliged and spent many hours listening to his stories about the "Old West" and how things have changed. I asked if he was from Texas or some other area of the Southwest. "No," he replied. I'm from the West Village. We let him out at the next exit. You meet a lot of strange people on the road!

Kick them strangers out.
ReplyDeleteAre you glad to be home---um, where is home? And the replacement car made it. will we ever see it?
watch out for cowboys--they are not what they seem. MB
I wouldn't have imagined him to be very talkative. Probably just a cliché.
ReplyDeleteDid you help him to climb to this podest?
ReplyDeleteDid he light up a Marlboro?
ReplyDeleteHe seems a bit stiff to me. Surprised he opened up and shared so much.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised he talked so much. He seems so stiff and wooden.
ReplyDeleteHappily back in Fort Lauderdale? Did the Mercedes make it OK? Or did you get a Porsche? My memory ain't so good no more.
I see in you r weather widget that the temperature is a good deal warmer in Ft. Lauderdale than in Michigan! Welcome back to blogging after your week on the road.
ReplyDeleteThat strange man seem to be quiet and lonely.

I'm glad that I maxed the photo because I got a closer look at the sculpture. Great facial expression and detail, esp the colour of the neck scarf.
ReplyDeleteWe have our share of strange people here, but we obviously can't compete in your league!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you made it back safely. And I think it was a good idea to let your hitchhiker out. He doesn't look trustworthy to me.
ReplyDeleteYou never know what will happen when you give rides to strangers!
ReplyDeleteI live on a island of strange people, the tourists are the sane ones. Great details in tthe image.
ReplyDeleteLost his horse too it seems
ReplyDeleteNever pick up a hitch hiker! Especially the funny looking ones :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great start to your week!
Many thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comment. Come visit again tomorrow!
Hey he was in town not too long ago with his horse.
ReplyDeletehmmm...
ReplyDeleteHe seems to have a very wooden expression on his face. Must be all that time he spends in the sun.
It seems the FTLDP Staff Limo attracts unusual riders...
You sure meet a lot of characters, B! This guy doesn't look very flexible!
ReplyDeleteI love the fall color but yr right, I'd be right behind you headed for warmth and sun if I could be!
