Karl came by today. He usually comes in on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. A rather stout fellow, with a full beard tinged with gray and glasses perched on his crooked nose, he resembled another innocuous, obese American seeking nourishment and food. However, he always is talkative and very genial.
He's a truck driver. He generally has to drive down three times a week. He also is a Vietnam war veteran, a former presidential candidate for 2008, and very much versed in the ways of the world.
Full of stories, he often talks about anything ranging from the inadequacies of the Republican Party to precious metal speculation. The war stories I found were most interesting, giving me a view into the American psyche during the Vietnam War. What's more entertaining are some of the anecdotal tales he has. Granted, he does talk for many hours on hand but it's generally interesting and fun. After all, life on the road is pretty mundane
Luckily, he also buys our pork rib plate and a large drink. So, cha-ching!
