"Captain"

"Captain"

The rider is Richard, sometimes referred to as "captain" by people who see him in the local coffee shop, there in the corner. He is homeless, has been for 26 years now. He says the housing authorities just put him on the waiting list and forget about him. Here he is on the 4th of July, riding in the night, celebrating his life, being human, leaving behind him a trail of Love.
