I'll name him crazy talk

So on the way to work today ( haha I LOVE being able to start stories like that) I got out of my car and started walking towards the midtown and this homeless man stood up from where he was sitting and started walking beside me.
He struck up a very odd conversation which was harmless enough so the least I could do was listen to the poor guy and add in a few " oh yah " s.
He first pointed towards the construction machines and he says " Those are from the GOVERMENT arent they?"
He continued with " you see all this dust blowing around? they need to clean up eh? they need to clean up these weeds eh, those wont do any good there eh. you see that dirt in the corner there? how are they gonna get that out eh??"
He then proceeded to talk about soil erosion and how he learned it in school and then started pointing at his eyepatch and explained how dust is blowing everywhere and bugs can fly into your eyes .
He bid me farewell at the corner as I walked across the cross walk and reminded me that mice were gross. He seemed satisfied at the information he presented me with and he was on his way.

He was an intresting man, although a little bit strange.
It was kind of sad to see but Im sure he hasn't talked to someone for a long time and meant no harm to anyone, he just needed to tell someone a story, so I thought Id humor him and pretended to be interested in his paranoid antics for that short walk to the crosswalk while most people just ignored him or told him off.


Thats my story about the kind of man most people dont have time for. I personally found him interesting/funny and a different start to my day.
