A familiar stranger
As I've mentioned before, I usually walk across the Stone Arch Bridge everyday for exercise, sometimes several times. The bridge was crowded in the summer when the weather was nice, but now that the weather has turned colder, only the die-hards like me venture forth to admire the view across the river.
I generally go at the same time every day after eating my lunch. Most days, I pass a man crossing the bridge from the other direction. I would guess he is in his late fifties or early sixties. Every day, he carries a tote bag with the initial "M" stitched on it. He is rather portly, and he walks at a middling speed in a rather pigeon-toed manner. He wears a blue parka and black gloves and hat, and he has wire-rimmed oval glasses. His hair, originally a reddish-blond, I think, is now mostly gray; he has a mustache and short beard. I wonder where he goes every day; does he wonder about me?
Tell me about someone you see every day whom you don't know. Where do you see him or her--at the bus stop? The corner store? The coffee shop? What is the same about the person every day, and what is different? What have you gleaned about this person from observation?

I have been quite used to seeing him just sitting outside the doughnut shop. After sometime, I came back to my college two years after my graduation and noticed that he is no longer in his spot. I asked around from the other beggar where has he gone. No one knew the answer.
Days after that, I was viewing some of my friends on friendster. I was amused the beggar has a friendster account. How cool is that? LOL I swear it is his account that I have viewed.
