Is it just me?

Or do you all have probems with this? This guy is a regular at this offramp. He has a dog, of course. One day we drove up this offramp and there were several people standing here. But usually it's just this guy. I always wonder what breaks a person to go this route? Or do they have more money in their savings account then I do? As I was sitting here pondering all this about this stranger in front of me the light turned green. The SUV in front of me had their hand out with some green showing. He sure spotted that very quickly and seemed very appreciative to the lady driver.

When I came back by this area I saw 2 children standing by talking to him and petting his dog. Girl and a boy, they were like maybe 9 and 7? The boy was younger. Then I saw the boy reach out and give the guy a hug as he was sitting there. All that made me wonder more about this stranger on the street corner. Were the kids walking by? Did they jump out of their families car while their light was red? It was all very odd. Did they know each other? Was that their Uncle Hal? All questions that I may never have the answer to.
