Sitting outside on the porch doing an interview this evening and people strolling, running, driving, biking, walking, jogging by all wave and say hello. My interviewee says – “My, I like this neighborhood, people are very friendly.”
Indeed.
Five minutes later my neighbor comes whooshing by at top speed on the riding lawnmower – he is a MOWRON – he and his buddy cut the grass on the bayou and in City Park. They volunteer. I put on my shoes and walked over to move the illegal furniture on the grass. I looked up and the mower was headed my way – IPOD blaring in his ears, cigarette burning between his fingers. I came back to the porch and my interviewee said, “He’s having a damn fine time.”
Indeed.
