Super humid all of a sudden. So everything's super hot and sticky. I often saw interesting characters. We had lots of regulars on our route. One of my regular guys, we'll call him Pete, he hopped on and he's an older guy and he looks like he's not able to let his 80s California boardwalk days go. He's very sun-weathered, really orange-brown skin. Looks like you could drag him down the street.

But they don't work. It's like spitting water. And it's just kind of recirculating half-assed cool air. So he sits down across from the AC unit, starts taking off his socks and shoes. And I'm like, okay. You know, it's hot out. Maybe his shoes are rubbing. And then I see him. He reaches into his bag. And then he pulls out what looks like a small cheese grater. He starts sawing away at his heel.

Dead skin cells everywhere. It's a pretty big cloud too. First of all, I instantly cover my face. I don't want to embarrass the guy. Like maybe he doesn't have a home or he has a home. He can do this. Maybe this is his time. I cover my mouth and I'm taking like the tiniest little sips of air possible. So I just pictured them going in the mouth and nose.
