A Guy in a Purple Velvet Cape
It was a weekday. Work was done and I was almost home. While stopped at a light, I happened to look across the street and see a guy in his twenties wearing a long purple velvet cape. Why? (Not that it really mattered.) What really mattered was that by all intents and purposes it was a strange thing for someone to be wearing there, especially on a hot summer day. Yet he was wearing it, and his ability (through this one simple action) to display freedom from societal constraints made me giggle … and smile.
Go, purple-velvet-caped guy … go!
