I read the news today oh boy

Of all the folk who sell newspapers on the streets, this fellow is my ultimate best! Every Sunday morning, he is at his post with local Afrikaans newspapers. He is such a friendly, respectful, and peaceful person, and when I saw him this Sunday I had to stop and ask him if he minded me taking a photo or two. He willingly obliged, and this shot is of him giving his natural and normal friendly salute to one of the drivers passing by.

Title from the lyrics of "A day in the life" by The Beatles
