Day two...the rest of the story.

Here is how the scenario played out...I was on the Harvard campus across the street from the Harvard Book Store. A shiny black Porsche pulled up and parked in front of me. The gentleman that stepped out of the Porsche is the person above. That alone peaked my interest. As I stood there wondering who this was, a truck pulled up on the street next to the Porsche and blocked traffic while a film crew began to gather. A person with a hand held video camera began to film the gentleman while he was talking to the person in the cowboy hat.

Nothing of any significance happened as far as I could see. For some reason he was of interest to the film crew but they were just filming him as he walked around??? The blonde (I failed to mention her yesterday) seemed to be an interpreter. The gentleman would look at her before he would respond to any query...she would say something and then he would follow suit. After a bit, the cameras stopped, a discussion ensued with hand gestures, pointing here and there and raised voices now and then...the Texan grabbed the arm of the person as if to gently nudge him down the street and all four...the gentleman, the Texan and the film crew (man in olive shirt center left of group picture is wired for sound) left together and disappeared from view. The truck still blocking traffic and the Porsche left unattended and I might say I noticed ...unlocked?

To see the gentleman and the Texan together was the strangest of contrasts...normally I would not expect these two types to have anything in common but I guess that's what makes the world go round!

Maybe I am just nosy and should stay out of other peoples' business...but this was an encounter I couldn't resist.

All of your scenarios from yesterday are plausible and may well be true!
