About 7 years or so, I met this young fella from the Detroit area working at a gas station, when it was my turn to pay for my gas , I asked, ” you ain’t from around here are ya? “
How could you tell was his reply.
This young guy was black going to school at MTU, took a gas stion job up in the Keweenaw to get away for the summer. He came up with a backpack only across the bridge. I’d stop in there and get gas just so I could talk with this young guy , great sense of humor while explaining why he got the hell of Detroit . as a boy he got real tired of gun shots every night , running from others who wanted to him harm for not joining gangs . He’d tell me all kinds things was normal for him growing up. One time he said, ” I just want to go fishing an not beat up because some kids thought it was a fun thing to do” . So want you wanna be when you are grow’ed up and wise?
” I will be a U.S. Marshal, when I retire, I will be coming back here and go fishing ”
This guy reminded me of the young at the gas station
this guy sounds like the gas station kid…. all grow’ed up
That fella fella at the gas station would wear a fur hat, like a bomber cover even summer , you couldn’t help smile like WTHell LOL
this guy wears a cowboy hat and yet he calls it dead nutz accurate
