At the bank earlier today, a rather crusty gentleman was in line to cash a check. He was obviously someone who worked outdoors quite a bit, and had been at the job before he came to the bank based on his clothes. He sported a battered ball-cap that had seen better days -- probably during the Eisenhower administration -- and a fine ZZ Top-styled beard that looked like it was pretty carefully groomed most of the time even if it was some worse for the wear today.
Because he was cashing a check, the teller asked him for his photo ID, which he showed. She checked it, looked at him, and said pleasantly, "That'll work. Looks just like you."
"I know," the man said, putting his wallet back in his pocket. "Ain't that a shame?"
Thanks for the chuckle, sir, and try to stay cool today.

Interesting. It was actually a compliment, huh? Everyone looks better in their online personas than IRL. Including me. I'm sure she sees lots of great DL pics of peeps that looking nothing like the peep standing in front of her. That guy was special. He knew who he was. So you put something out there positive for this guy. If he never reads it will it impact him in the spiritual realm - which is the entirety of our lives, of course. In other words, will he reap the blessing? I wonder, b/c so many negative words bombard me these days. I think they have real impact even if I don't *hear* them. Haha. Sorry for the mini-tangent.
