I met Lance in Kayenta, Arizona. I was standing under a shade tree eating snack crackers and drinking water (my lunch for the day).
Lance was probably a little older than me.
He was wearing a baseball hat.
I only saw one tooth.
We talked about the bike, my trip, the heat, how far aways was Flagstaff; and then, like I expected, he asked me for two dollars.
Old Me held up my water bottle and said I'd spent all the money I had on this one bottle.
Lance said he understood and began to walk away.
New Me, knowing that a lot of people gave to me so I could get to Arizona, probably just to meet Lance under a shade tree, said that I might have two dollars if he'd sign my bike.
Lance signed my bike, and I gave him the money.
We shook hands, and before he walked away he said, "It was nice doing business with you."
I agreed.
