Yesterday it was in the mid 20's as I started my commute home. The wind was howling. A line of snow squalls had moved in an hour earlier and we had and inch of fresh snow and it was snowing hard. I look over and running on the sidewalk was a male, 30ish in shorts, no shirt, no hat, no gloves, with black knee high socks. He was holding an old school Walkman like the kind I had in 1986. Some will remember those cassette players in the safety yellow color.

It was a "what the heck" moment.

Staged for meme purposes?

Were you drinking a Russian energy drink containing nirtrotrinadium? Are you sure it wasn't 1986?

That may be the last functioning Walkman on the planet.

You’re sure it wasn’t a Zune?

I recognized it as I was only feet away and I had one back in the day.

The “sport” version. Loved that thing. Had the CD version too.

You should have taken a picture and sent it to Kyle Clark.

The walkman has @MAC_32 written all over it.

Living with a SEAL

Was the guy jacked? Just read this book and the SEAL in it would train in shorts, Tshirt regardless the weather or temp. No mention of the Sony Walkman though.

Full disclosure, this may be me in about 9 hours. I'm having an internal debate on 30 and snow vs 20 and near 0 wind chill tomorrow. Shorts and knee high socks are the norm but hat and gloves are a must, so that rules me out of being this particular culprit. I did go without a shirt earlier this winter though - I forgot to lube up pre-run and I realized I was nearing the bloody nipple point of no return. The net several what the heck looks from passer-by's.

Might have been my neighbor. I sold one of those like 4 years ago at our garage sale.

I have one better than the Walkman. Not commuting, but see it every day from my front porch during the summer..

Old guy going for a nightly walk and he carries a small silver boombox type radio with headphones plugged into it (not earbuds, big headphones). And he wears a headband.
