Dead or just sleeping

We had a busy day today. We bummed around second hand stores looking for old looking bottles and Gothic looking candelabras. Our final stop was at a local Savers store. I won't bore you with the details but our greatest find was this fella.



Poor guy must have just run out of gas. He obviously found a couple of suitcases he was interested in. He must have just sat down for a second. His eyelids must have been so heavy. We figured he laid back for just a second, just to rest his head for a second. I think we can all relate.

The funny thing about this little guy is that he was totally out. I mean O U T...out. Little kids were running by "Mama, Mama". A lady just out of frame was testing a blow dryer out. Nothing, this guy crashed hard. I'd be willing to be that he was there until the place closed down for the day. I hope that he is still there now and that he wakes up in a dark store all by himself.


I'm still not sure how he has so much of his body in contact with 2nd hand things and able to cope. Whenever I go to these places I handle everything like it has the potential to give me pinkeye...which is probably not that far off. I don't think I could sit on that couch much less lay down on it. The only thing I could come up with is what if he wasn't asleep but had actually passed away while shopping for suitcases. Wendi wanted to go drop something really loud by his head but we decided to let him enjoy his nap. He would probably be cranky if we woke him anyway.
