... people were lining up...

As we walked away, we noticed another man taking shape on the next bench.

The whole plaza was full of people enjoying being out in the snow.
A reporter from the local newspaper (the Santa Fe New Mexican) was out taking
pictures of everything that was going on.
She took this picture, which actually was not used in
the next day's paper.
It was, however, put on the AP wires.

I next discovered this picture was picked up by papers in
Bloomington ,
the UK ,
Canada,
Taiwan ,
Thailand ,
Romania ,
and who knows where else.

When we went back the next day, our guy was still there (bulk matters),
though the arm that had rested on the back of the bench was gone - not surprising. It was clear
that some of the regulars on the plaza were taking care of him, and he had acquired among
other things a scarf, cane, mohawk hairdo, a 5-o'clock shadow, and the little dog also
had gotten some color on his face. Clearly he had turned into a community project. I love Santa Fe!
