People Watching

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

As I was waiting in the car at the hardware store tonight I noticed this distinguished looking gentleman come out of the nearby contractor’s entrance and walk in front of the car. He looked like he was still young, but had white/gray hair and a well kept but not truely athletic physique that was covered by a black overcoat, black shirt and black slacks. I noted a dark bluetooth headsetĀ  tacked into his ear as he walked, and he was gently tugging on a pair of black driving gloves.

There was something about the whole aura and attire the guy had that made me think at once that he had to be some kind of spy that had to stop in at the hardware store for some needed items for whatever mission he was on. It only added to the effect when he got into a nearby black sporty car, a casual look back toward the store before he slid behind the wheel and drove off.

I can so see him as a secret agent spy type. Or perhaps a modern vampire I suppose. Maybe he was getting a replacement bolt for the loose hinge on his coffin?

Go people watching and see what the people you see might look like to you, then share a few observations.
