There's a bum around town. He's older with a dirty, graying beard and he wears a broad-brimmed hat, probably to keep the sun off. I first saw him at the Territorial Prison's little park where I go sometimes to sit and watch the wildlife while I eat and generally enjoy some peace and quiet. Then I saw him up at the library a couple of times, sitting on the park bench, and again here and there as I drive around town. I make it a point to avoid people and I find it nifty that he's where I end up.
I do worry about him a little. We had the Santa Ana winds through here in the last couple of days and I hope he's got somewhere to go at night; I almost bought some chapstick and went down to pass it out to bums I saw. I dunno. I like seeing him around; it's like he's a part of the city.
