Hammer365: 177/188 Giant Arrow Head
Kansas City loves their Chiefs that's for sure. I had just climbed back into my truck at the grocery today when this gentleman appeared out of nowhere at my driver's window wanting to talk. Well, he was a lot older than me and both of his hands were busy holding this gigantic arrow head shaped stone so I rolled my window down. He began telling me where he found it and where he'd been with it this day. He was talking to me as if we just picked back up on a previous conversation. He'd been down to the police station with it showing it off and said it set off the metal detector as he pointed to those larger wholes near the bottom. "There's iron in there," he told me. I stepped back out of the truck and he let me hold it, it was quite heavy. At this point I was feeling like a sales pitch would be coming on but he just continued admiring his stone and talking. And then the more he talked the more I disappointed I was that he wouldn't be selling it to me. He said he had another one at home that was about 250 pounds.
We spoke for a good 15 minutes about nothing but this rock he was carrying. I thanked him for sharing with me and wished him a "blessed day." I don't do that often, wish a blessed day. I watched as he walked two isles over to his car where he popped the trunk and placed the stone. He closed the lid and headed into the store.
I don't know why he picked me out in that parking lot where there were many other people he could have shared his show and tell with. Was he just waiting there for me the whole time? Had he shown it to anyone else? I don't know but I do know that it felt good to spend a few minutes with a complete stranger as he shared with me what appeared to be his proudest possession.
