Long Sleeves

The weather is rather humid and warm. But for some unknown reason, EVERYONE is wearing long sleeves. Probably due to the cool wind gusts. My usual partner in crime and myself have seated ourselves, and begin observing.

A young lady, with dark chin length hair, wearing a headband, walks through the cafe. She is about 18 or 21 years of age. Caucasian, wearing a blue shirt with black pants and black flats. She is swiftly walking through as if on a mission. Soon, she walks out and I'm left wondering what she was doing.

I view another young lady with her dark hair in a high ponytail. She is wearing a black and white long sleeve with red lipstick. She looks very well taken care of and groomed. I wonder if she is headed to an interview or her job? Or maybe she just wanted to get dressed up today? She waits in the long line to order a drink. She orders a frappuccino, pays and once she retrieves it, she swiftly walks out as well.

A young man of what looks to be of African descent. Is wearing a black hoodie and is intently reading an article on his laptop. He pauses a few times to take a sip of his hot drink, of what I'm guessing is coffee. And continues to read.

An older woman of about 50, is in the farther back of the vicinity. From what I can see, she has flamboyantly dyed, red hair. She is wearing a black cardigan with black pants and flats. She is sipping on what looks to be a coffee and reading a book of sorts, she looks to be of Hispanic descent.

I begin to notice that a plethora of many different descents is present today. Which isn't usually the norm. But, very refreshing.

Across from the older woman, is a young man, Josh, of about twenty years of age. He has buzzed cut hair and has piercing blue eyes. Josh pulls out his phone, an Android, and plugs in his headphones to listen to a song. He sits quietly listening and sips on his coffee, as well.

Another young lady, who is rather petite, walks in and stands in line. Her dark long hair is in a Katniss (Hunger Games) style side braid. She is wearing a grey hoodie, with black pants, and heeled boots. She looks to be of her early twenties. She orders her drink and sits at a table awaiting it to be made.

I see an older gentleman. Of African descent, he is sitting down and writing observantly. I'm assuming he may be an Anthropologist? perhaps? But then his phone rings, and he begins to speak rather audibly and begins to laugh with the person he is holding a conversation with on the other end. After he finishes his conversation, he resumes writing.

And my partner and I head out once again.
