Weatherbeaten

Weatherbeaten.  That’s what I would say about his well-worn face.  Clothes off-the-rack Goodwill with shoes that might have been beaten with a jack hammer that very morning.  Yes, he was unimpressive.  Despite this,  I noticed him as he walked in front of me in the Stater Brothers grocery store. 

He looked up at me for an instant and walked slowly away . . six feet away 😊     .  He saw me looking at him and he gave me a thumbs up!  For what?  I wondered . . .

Then I realized that he was looking at the Lincoln Project hat.  He recognized what it meant! 

And, then he said to me,’We have to get rid of Donald Trump’.  I smiled, gave him a thumbs up, and paid for my groceries.  

On my way out, I looked back at him . .

                . . . .do I look that weatherbeaten, too?
