Foxfire...You're the News on Central Avenue

NOB HILL--Here is a conversation I had this morning with another bicycle tourist I spotted this morning in front of the Flying Star.
"Say...ah...didn't I see you in Moab this last spring?"
"Moab? Went through there in July, I think..."
"I thought I saw you standing on a corner in Durango, Colorado. I thought that was in July."
"Yeah...July I was there."
"And now you're here."
"Uh-huh...Do you have a quarter for change?"
I gave him a quarter. He gave me 2 dimes and a nickel.
"Do you mind if I take your picture?" I asked him.
"Not if I can take yours," he replied.
We took 'em. He told me his name was Foxfire. Then he rode off east on Central with a copy of the New York Times strapped to his pack.
