Meet Don And Doc

I cruised by them last weekend and had to turn around. As soon as I got out of the car they asked me if I was lost. I laughed and told them of course not! I just wanted to talk to them and take their picture. Like a lot of people I photograph, they seemed a bit surprised. They joked with each other that “If she is taking our picture, we should charge her! HA!” 

They asked where I was going because of my out of state plates. Doc told me he had traveled all over working as a traffic controller for years. He was a riot. Just that jolly, I’m chillin’ in my teeny little town watching the world go by and I can do that now because I have worked my ass off and been some places and done some things. Don didn’t say a word. I think he thought I was a little nuts. I can’t say I’m surprised. After all I was the chatty stranger who popped in out of nowhere. Hope I didn’t scare you Don. Thanks for letting me take your picture. As promised, I will come find you and the Trout Run Fire Department someday and share my fortune with you when/if I make it. Until then, happy chair sitting and relaxing on those perfect summer nights gents.

Here’s to everyday folks and all walks of life.
