wondering

Do you ever see people during the course of your day and wonder what their story is? I see some of the same people regularly on the bus, likely on a schedule similar to mine, probably going to or from work. Some I see just in the morning, some just in the evening, some both. There's this one guy however who gets on after me, not always the same stop, but at one of maybe 4 different ones. He then gets off before me, so we never actually cross paths. But he seems like the kind of guy who has a story, and I wonder what it is.

He carries a big bag on his back, sort of like a military issue duffel bag. Every day he is wearing the exact same jeans, shirt, vest, hate, and sandals with socks, which leads me to believe that would be homeless. But he seems very put together and I haven't noticed him to bring a stink onto the bus. Most importantly, he hasn't done anything that would make him seem crazy, like most homeless people do.

So to sum things up, he seems normal with the exception that he carries a bag whose size indicates that it could likely be carrying all his daily necessities, and that he wears the exact same clothes daily. My money is on him being homeless by choice, or maybe some sort of travelling type guy. Sort of how I would be if I had nothing going for me.
