Wow, haven’t seen a record player in a while, much less in a cafe. He’s listening to “Those Southern Nights.”

Taken 08Mar24 11:15p.m. Unusual for me to be out late since I’m an early riser, and it was more difficult to take pics because I needed to use the flash, but here are a couple of guys I caught for  NsideOut. They looked so focused and unaware that the cafe had closed.

This guy strutted his stuff quite a few laps around the cafe (and back and forth from outside across the glass-plated front).

 Poncho #2; the wind must be keeping it cooler today, though I don’t know because I’ve been in the cafe eight hours now.

Robert loves sounds! Almost every day, he brings a new object to the cafe with which to make noise (sometimes too much for me, like the day he brought clackers). Today, he proudly showed off this guiter he made. I wish I’d gotten a shot of the back, which was beautifully colored.

 I know there must be a large, secret or not so, wiccam population in town based on the display of funny socks (Just kidding, ladies!). That, or just a lot of knitters.

 I loved this poncho so much, I followed this gentleman right into the store, though I meant to be passing it and looped right back out after snapping this pic.
