Flower Guy On Murray Ridge Rd

With all of the inconsistencies that make up my life, there’s one constant that I can count on to always be there. And, by there, I mean on the side of a semi-​busy, suburban road. Nonetheless, it’s still constant.
I’ve lived in San Diego for a good 11 years, and I’ve driven up Murray Ridge Road numerous times. He’s always there, dressed to the teeth, depending on the weather, selling 5 dollar bouquets of flowers. It’s not a stand, it’s a man and a bucket of bouquets, a red and white homemade sign «Roses 5.00», and sometimes a lawn chair for him to rest in.
Bouquets for every special holiday/​occasion. Christmas Day? He’s out there. Easter? Done. Graduation? 5 dollar blue flowers for every grad.
Rain or shine, he’s there. If it snowed in San Diego, I could guarantee he’d be standing out there, with a rose bouquet in hand, as he always is, garbed in a parka and mittens and hat and… whatever else they wear in cold weather, because I have no clue.
Cheaper than a regular florist, too.
