My Friend in the Rain

Remember my friend who walks along the side of the road smoking a cigarette wearing a Packers jacket?

See post "Dedication" from December 2010 and post "My Friend is a Packer Fan" from February 2011

Well, today he got me again.

As I'm driving along in the rainy, cold, miserable morning, I see a big, green lump on the side of the road. Lawnmower with a cover over it? Grill with a cover? Back end of a pick-up truck? It's kind of big and square, but I can't exactly tell what it is. As I get closer, it's still hard to tell in the gray morning darkness.

Then I notice it's moving in the wind. Then I notice it's coming toward me. 

Then I notice it's my friend. He's wearing a billowing green tarp with a hole cut in the middle for his head to stick out.

But he's still walking. Even in the rain. See previous post.

(And he's shaved his winter beard off.)
