So I was on the bus, like I always am, and it suddenly dawns on me that the old man next to me is that guy! So, I immediately started memorizing his outfit:
- Blue long sleeved button up shirt, with the same Hawiian shirt as last time over top, and for added warmth, a woolen vest over top of that.
- Track pants- they were Adidas- and your know that white stripe? Well, he had added red dots all the way down the stripe.
- Cowboy boots, with the beads missing :(
- A cowboy hat like Greg's (with a picture of George Canyon on the inside- he showed me) and sunglasses
- And then the best part- a grey western looking belt over top of his multiple shirts, with chains haning off of it!
Then he started distributing newspaper articles to everyone in reach, because there was an article in their about him! It made my day! Apparently, every summer he decorates a bike- and I mean crazy decorate- there was a picture of him with his bike, and you could barely see the bike. I'm gonna quote a bit of the article:
"When you look at Peter S's decorated 1954 CCM Glider five-speed bicycle, you can visualize it as a flat in a parade. The bike, which the 76 year old has owned since he was 17, is a colorful, entertaining work of art. Peter himself adds to the picture. A born entertainer, he loves to get all dressed up in his self designed, tailored western outfit, in which he looks like a modern day Roy Rogers."
It was an excellent bus ride.
