New York Minute 189 - Happy New Year
I was standing on the sidewalk holding a shopping bag in each hand while my wife returned an item in Target. A middle-aged man walked out to the store, smiled, and said, “I wish you a Happy New Year!” as he walked past.
“Happy New Year!” I wished him in return.
By appearances, I would have guessed that the man was Jamaican, but he had a US accent. He wore a large knit cap that covered a lot of hair and a black cloth face mask with a small marijuana leaf knitted into the fabric. He looked a bit disheveled, but his demeanor was pleasant.
“I hope it’s a good year,” the man said as he continued on his way.
“I hope so, too!”
The man stopped after eight or ten paces and turned back to face me.
“And by a good year, I mean no Trump.”
