Hat and Cape

I took the first long distance picture below about a week ago and was disappointed when I saw it. This student on campus dresses like this everyday and I have wanted to get a picture of him for a while. I saw him walking across campus the other day and pulled over and snapped the picture. It was just okay, not blog worthy by itself. Well, today was my lucky day! I was at the post office in the basement of our building and he walked right by me. I snapped the second picture of him as he was walking into the pool hall. Who wears this kind of stuff? I have worn some goofy stuff in my life, but I would not wear a Dr. Seuss hat and a Harry Potter cape out in public even on Halloween. Apparently he wears it because he is cold. Well, I saw him as early as last July and it was not cold then. Next excuse please!

I actually had him pass right in front of my car today when DeWayne and I were coming back from Wal-Mart. I had my phone poised right over the top of the steering wheel facing him as he walked past the front of the car. I chickened out on snapping the picture because he looked right at me and smiled like he knew I was taking a picture. I got embarrased and quickly lowered the phone. I'm not sure if he knew I was trying to take a picture or not, but it probably didn't help that DeWayne and I were laughing and practically pointing.

This may sound mean. Maybe it is. I prefer to think of it as observant and witty. Well, observant at least. To each his own I guess. If he was not dressed like this I would not be blogging about it right now. I salute you sir!
