After not seeing Mr. Know-It-All for several months, we happened to be riding the same bus yesterday afternoon. I saw him just before we boarded at the same stop downtown. I was trying to maneuver to get a picture of him with my cell phone, but he was sitting at the front, and I was crammed in the back making it a little awkward to take a picture without drawing too much attention to myself. Interestingly, however, was his lack of a "pork-pie" hat. Just messy hair on his head. Also, he was carrying a half-full gallon of water and a computer keyboard...??? True to my assumption about his being a vagabond, he got off of the bus at a different stop than I ever remember seeing previously. He is also sporting a handlebar mustache these days. It looks pretty good on him. (Note: The above picture is not Mr Know-It-All, I just thought this guys handlebar stache was too cool to pass up)
Hopefully it won't be so long before I see him again. I must admit that even though interacting with him frightens me into the fetal position, I felt some comfort in seeing someone familiar that I hadn't seen in such a long time. It was almost like running into an old friend...almost.

Did you meet the fellow from the picture in Redmond?
I LOVE YOUR BLOG.
I seriously can't stand how funny it is.
And wait...is this person a Mr. Know-It-All look-alike or a long lost Weasley?
What a hottie that guy with the handlebar mustache is :) You have quite the "adventures" on your bus rides. Do you think that it is just a typical 'bus' thing to end up with weirdos and quacks? We had our fare share of loonies on the bus rides in Hawaii- that is for sure!
I must say that "The Bus" in Hawaii did bring out the worst of the worst. One time this guy totally threw up and we were only about half way back from "town" The throw up would roll back and forth down the aisle as the bus went up and down hills. This other guy stood up and yelled,"I think somebody just lost their lunch!" And he jumped onto the seat. Lovely I know, but...it's my only bus story...
...oh and by the way...I think I know that guy in the picture!...He looks like several of the guys I went to high school with...including the mustache...they also liked to grow the Brigham Young beard that stretches under the jaw, but no where on the face...flattering...
Nice. Neck beards are the best. There's always someone on "certain" buses with a neck beard.
