ERNEST HEMINGWAY TRIBUTE

On a cold and stormy afternoon, the sun no where in site, the sky looking like midnight, there is only one person enjoying the weather Tom Billasky. Tom was a person they just referred to as “not all there” he never talked but always smiled, he was a very tall fellow with arms as big as cannons, but with a 12 year olds ego. In the rain it seemed to be his world and his world alone!!! Kids from there house watched and wondered why he was having so much fun in the nasty weather. “What is he doing “? A bystander from a nice warm dry house said. “Minding his business as should you” The mother said. A car drove by slowing down to stare at this huge man child as he is running the street kicking and smiling as if he is at a park on a nice sunny day. “Doesn’t he realize he could catch a cold” the driver of one of the vehicles said. I guess he doesn’t care" his passenger quickly answered. Even though everyone looked at him weird, some envied him. With war and financial crisis rising, the weather so HORRIBLE, he is probably the only one in America smiling!!!
