Well shot and quite moody John. Love the Edsel wagon.
Music on your pieces today John seems calming.
thank you David.....I stumbled across the artist : Werner Lämmerhirt earlier today ....... his evocative performance is just what the old man at the car show could hope for 😶
Sadly Moses found himself a man from another time without marketable job skills. In dire need of money for daily sustenance plus a new toga and flip flops he decided, after finding a discarded hand held window washer, to become a "squeegie kid" and set up at the lay by public washroom area by on Interstate 43, next to the State Park. Within an hour the ever vigilant Smokey The Bear spotted the windshield washer who, while soliciting business, was obviously alarming parked motorists with his odd appearance and biblical parlance. Smoky called The State Highway Patrol and within minutes Trooper Harley Davidson arrived and was briefed by Smokey regarding his observations and concerns about this odd individual apparently operating without a business license and encroaching on his State Park turf. Trooper Davidson and Smokey observed him clean the windows on a Edsel Bermuda wagon and saw its owner flip him some change to confirm the bear's complaint. They approached the odd individual who, with a radiant smile, identified himself simply as Moses and pleasantly insisted that they call him Moe. After explaining their concerns trooper Davidson and Smokey were puzzled by Moe's obvious lack of understanding about highway and State Park regulations and in fact his surprise as to why motorists would find him disconcerting. After hearing his dire financial predicament and pressing needs they reminded Moe of the state welfare system, homeless shelters and food banks but once again were incredulous when he displayed no understanding of such services. Deeply touched by Moe's kindly, pleasant demeanor despite his plight and concerned about his innocence and gullibility, the benevolent bruin winked at Trooper Davidson, then offered to have Moe be a guest for dinner and lodging at his ranger station and offered him temporary employment as campground attendant until he got back on his feet. Moses deeply gazed at the two kind strangers for a period of time before blessing them. Davidson and Smokey were surprised to find themselves deeply moved by this odd overture and were further taken aback when Moses raised his arm to the sky and a radiant beam of sunlight burst through the dark clouds overhead, bathing them in warmth. Exchanging a furtive look with Smokey, Trooper Davidson whispered "I don't know what just happened here my friend, but something tells me everything is just fine and I'm leaving you to it." As the trooper quickly returned to his motorcycle he waved goodbye to the departing duo and shook his head; wondering how he would ever be able to write this one up in his police report.
@jack-dodds............... thank you Jack,for the inclusion of pizza pie in your true life tale........
......true to fashion,Moe shared the pie with many of the wildlife and other regulars who plied their trade in and around the shabby little stop on I-43 ............they all enjoyed this impromptu offering........except for "Bob`s your Monkey" who was taken into custody on a prior
@john-barry Pizza? Pizza?? You must have dozed off perusing my non-medicinal sleep aid and dreamt of such a gustatorial goodie. Â
Btw I think that's 3 strikes for Bob.....he's headed for the big house and a brand new relationship. His traditional simian cries of OO, OO, OO may have a different tone soon.
let`s change the subject and give Bob a chance to make his escape.......he would`t last three bananas in the big house......those PBS boys play for keeps !!!!

They think they can do whatever they want under cover of the weather; they're always gorillas in the mist.
 that fella runs the "exotic" barbecue trailer has volunteered to put up Bob in exchange for a few pounds of brineing spice
That's my old buddy Con Demente aka Sweet Baby Ray; the guy is a cut above in my book. He runs a shelter for chickens, pigs and cattle; seems to find homes for them almost immediately.....he's connected.
