Dawn on Nostr: I just had one of my strangeness with strangers moments in the grocery store. A guy ...

I just had one of my strangeness with strangers moments in the grocery store. A guy got in front of my shopping cart and grabbed it to stop me. I was immediately nervous. His whole neck was tattooed, he had a huge scar that ran from the corner of his mouth to his ear on one side of his face, that stout prison weightroom type of build, intense stare, damn near a foot taller than me. He said "How are you doing? "

In the back of my mind, I was thinking this guy was either going to ask me for money, ask me out on a date, or possibly maybe mug me in the cheese aisle 😅 I reluctantly replied, "good, and you?"

He said, "good. This July weather. It's hot. How are you wearing all black?" I said I was just used to it.

He went on to tell me that he is moving to Philadelphia in August, to stay with his brother (who's girlfriend just had a baby). He said the city will be very hot because it is radiating heat. I asked if he had ever lived there before. He said yes and that he misses it. I told him that I hope it goes well. He said thanks, told me to have a good evening, let go of my cart, and walked off.
