Ozzie
Emporium
A no name gas station
With a baseball hat pulled down on his head - gruff - What kind of Gas - How much? Cash or Credit? Slight of build he looked to be a tough customer this server - did not smile or look me in the eye. - Fill it Regular please, Credit. A white van pulled into the far side of the pump - “Hi Ozzie!” A friendly greeting for this gruff fellow - interesting - someone likes and knows him. Ozzie? looks or listens into my passenger window - Are you listening to the Andreas Bocelli CD I have on? No - the book on the seat The Way Home A German Childhood, an American Life Written by Ernestine Bradley. He then went to the little glass booth and brought out a book by Martin Booth - The industry of Souls !! - He has plenty of time to read in the booth so he often finishes one book per week. My next task - find out about this book.
