All righty then!
I was on the light rail a little while ago riding down to the MOA (mall of america for you not in the circle types) and I happened to be caught in between a bunch of businessmen and women, rush hour is hell on the light rail. Any ways after five stops or so I got to sit down and right across from me is this cute little Japanese man. He was wearing blue jeans with a purple/brown/tan/pink button up shirt (the light did not aid my sense of color,) tiva sandals with white socks and big gold wire framed glasses. His face was tan and wrinkly and he had salt and pepper hair and all the while I was watching him he was either drifting to sleep or staring down someone he would guess was a hooligan and holding his backpack tightly. Which brings me to why I started writing about him. In his backpacks water bottle holder he had a tree branch wrapped up in a plastic Lunds bag. I, for some reason or another, found this incredibly cool. It wasn’t even a cool tree, it was a cottonwood branch. I still wonder what he did with it. Did he want to grow a cottonwood tree? Is he doing research on the life span of a cottonwood? Hell I wonder if it was actually a cottonwood. What does one usually do with a tree branch? Personally I try to start fights with them, like when my brother and I found really big branches after a storm and we invented extreme ring toss. If you are curious we really just whipped a hula-hoop at each other. Imagine that he does this sort of thing a lot, is it a hobby or is it some secret government research under a tell and die rule. It would be really cool if he were a government agent.

He got off at the mall too, I wonder if he works there?
