Twisted Vista

There’s a guy across the way on the roof of his doublewide trailer. He is putting some kind of tar on the roof. He is standing right beside the old fashioned TV antenna that is leaning just a bit to the side. That old man is up on that roof quite a bit. It’s an old, broken down affair, his trailer. Apparently he is always one step ahead of disaster. I suppose doing maintenance on one of those old things is not unlike the upkeep of an old submarine. He is both the Swabbie and the Captain of his landlocked vessel. He is the king of his tin can. Tin can man.

Isn't he kind of too old to be doing stuff like that? That's kind of sad~

Well, he looks healthy, but it is kind of sad.
