Wow, I've always thought social media "influencers" were a waste of time.

Pretty cool.

Certainly not my cup of tea but I do have an odd respect for him.
 
Nice story. :thumbup

I passed on a sandwich, chips and a soda to a gent asking for help in front of Togo's yesterday. Vet needs help deal.

I said I can help let me buy you lunch.

Leaving he put both arms out and said DENNIS... He got the return ELLIOTT.
With a nod of appreciation for the sandwich and me remembering his name I was back on the road.
Now if I see Elliott again I can wave hello. He seemed pretty damn happy to get a meal.

A little Christmas Cheers.
