Wonder Wednesday: Tell Me the Story Of Ray

This is Ray, he shows up every Tuesday at Rubios Tacos and the staff

greet him like a king. They guide him to a seat, he’s nearly blind  you see, and bring him his special order and when he is done a waitress walks him across the street to Starbucks for his coffee. When I asked about him all they knew was that one of the girls had seen him walking all the way across town from Berkeley a good 3 or 4 miles,  he wouldn’t take a ride he likes the walk. And his name is Ray.

It makes me wonder who he is and what gives him all this spunk and the great smile. This makes a nice writing prompt for those so inclined, fill in the gaps, create a character study. Is he a retired UC Professor or a homeless guy? Have fun and share your results in the comments. If you use the picture  in your post credit Carol Carlisle at Light Words please.
