100 Strangers #30/100; Fern
This is amazing. I straightened this photo using LR 5 and it apparently erased my previous description. So, I will rewrite it.
Around noon today I was sitting, sipping a soda, at a small snack-bar in a department store. Fern approached me and asked if a stool sitting nearby was being used. I told him it was not. So, he sat there and ate his lunch. During all this time, he was occupied with reading from his cell phone.
I glanced at him several times and wished I could make his photo.
I even considered secretively taking his pic with my small pocket camera. At the same time, I decided that would be totally RUDE.
But, as he finished his lunch and started to leave, I asked if I could ask questions about his hair. He smiled and graciously agreed.
My first question was how long he had this style? He replied, "A LONG time." Then, how often does he have to style it? Actually, I think I used a Texas term and asked him about "fixing" it. He said about once a week.
Knowing how my hair (what I have left) looks when I awaken mornings, I ask him about sleeping and what kind of issues that he would have. He smiled, reached up and bent his forward spike all the way to his face. When he released it, it just sprang back like a spring. I was totally amazed. He said he used hair glue to form the spikes.
Lastly, I asked who fixes it for him and he said he does it all himself. Now, that is talent!
Fern was very friendly and courteous. Perhaps he is just accustomed to people asking him about his hair. I think he is not just tolerant, but is just a nice guy that everybody would like to be around.
I think my first narration was better, but you will never know. LOL
