GOLDIE still waves...

Among my regular weekly travels,i teach a lesson out in Lido Beach.
Every time i make the trip,at the same point i open the window,wave,and beep my horn.You see,
outside the "we-buy-gold" store stands a figure who is as constant as the dusk following the dawn.
If the US postal service gets through despite rain,snow,and gloom of night,if the FBI always get
their man,if the phone always rings after you get in the shower,then this figure is i-damn-conic.
A person(man,woman,child?) dressed as a giant GOLD BAR...waves to the speeding traffic...

goldie still waves!!!

I have zoomed past his greeting all seasons of the year,most memorably last March,when,in a blinding
snowstorm,he had competition from another jeweler who hired a guy to dress as Santa and wave,only
1 block South...unreal.The nerve..
.My question is..
What must these 2 working stiffs have been thinking,out there,freezing,waving,waving ?
Anyway,when i get down on what i think are hard times,i'm reminded of what i heard last week,at the end of the big Washington rally"these are HARD times,not END times" great line..
..and i think of GOLDIE,out there,,,waving,,,,
and i smile.......
