Gettin' up in the morn and going to work is the engine that keeps the modern world running, although in these troubling financial times fewer people need do because they done been laid off. Been there.

There's a bloke in my neighborhood that goes as far as getting up, getting dressed and getting into his car, but that's it. I've observed him for quite some time doing this: Just sitting in his car, an old, junky, tan Astrovan or some such. At times he reads the paper. Other times he smokes. Just recently I spied a tiny TV on his dash. How long he sits there I don't know. What time he starts in the am, I don't know. How long he's been doing this, again, I don't know.

I wonder if he tells the wife, "bye honey, see you tonight," like that guy in that crappy Joel Schumacher movie (which one? They're ALL crappy! ha ha ha!) and pretends to go to the office. Ain't likely, though, as he's always in the same place. One trip to the Ralph's by his wife and a chance drive-by of his spot and the jig would be up. No, I don't think he's lying to anyone. I think he's just a guy that sits in his car.


Tonight - Homestead.
