Houstonist Flickr Group Photo of the Day - Gassing up at Chevron

gassing up at Chevron

The shot from flickr user and Houstonist photo contributor Chuckwheat.

This bright shot is great, it's clear what's going on (an interesting character panhandling at a gas station) but everything is a little off. The truck in the background isn't your typical F-150, and clearly this guy in the foreground isn't your typical panhandler. We get a little more info from the description in another shot.

The description also seems to be in some sort of poetic, broken verse:

panhandling @ the Chevron station. Said he had an MFA
from Yale & was (is?) an artist.
Ended by telling me I seemed like a cool guy that'd "take a
bullet for him" if it came down to that.
Tom, I didn't see that movie....
