Greetings to the Top Family community. It's 1:46 a.m. in my beloved Venezuela, and after having my power restored about eight hours ago, I wanted to take advantage of this connection time to interact on Hive. During my search, I came across the Observe think write contest, an initiative by 
I'm a romantic vagabond, a widowed Latin lover
"We all have a little bit of the musician, the poet, and the madman in us." That's how I begin, because the streets are full of creative people who leave their mark on life so as not to go unnoticed. The other day, crossing the street, Mr. Simón appeared out of nowhere, honking the horn of his "Machito."
That vehicle is his work tool for covering the route to town, but it's not just any old pickup truck. Mr. Simón was widowed some time ago, but apparently, he didn't have "permission" from his wife—may God rest her soul—to be sad, much less to let himself go. That's why he decided to keep traveling the road in his old truck, livening up the journey with the radio blasting, like someone who always wants to be partying.
I got to ride with him, and that's how I discovered where the bus stop was, since it had been a while since I'd been back to my town. The truck still has its original turquoise paint job; Mr. Simón has been its only owner. I know that Mrs. Rosario, who loved it dearly, never wanted him to get rid of the car; she wanted him to stay active, doing what he loves so much: traveling and keeping the route alive so that visitors can get to know the town. I was told that's why he decided to put up the sign: "I'm a romantic vagabond, a widowed Latin lover," thus becoming an unforgettable character and a true tourist attraction.

Saludos a la comunidad Top Family. Son la 1:46 a. m. en mi amada Venezuela y, tras haber recuperado el suministro eléctrico hace unas ocho horas, quise aprovechar este tiempo de conexión para interactuar en Hive. En mi recorrido, me encontré con el concurso Observa piensa escribe, una iniciativa de
Soy un vagabundo romántico, Latin Lover viudo
"De músico, poeta y loco, todos tenemos un poco". Así empiezo, porque la calle está llena de gente creativa que pone su sello en la vida para no pasar desapercibida. El otro día, cruzando la calle, apareció de la nada el señor Simón, tocando la corneta de su "Machito".
Ese vehículo es su herramienta de trabajo para cubrir la ruta hacia el pueblo, pero no es una camioneta cualquiera. El señor Simón enviudó hace un tiempo, pero al parecer no tenía "permiso" de su mujer —que Dios la tenga en su gloria— para estar triste, y mucho menos para abandonarse. Por eso, decidió seguir recorriendo el camino en su rústico, alegrando el trayecto con la radio a todo volumen, como quien siempre quiere estar de fiesta.
Me tocó viajar con él y así descubrí dónde estaba la parada, pues tenía tiempo sin venir a mi pueblo. El rústico aún conserva el color turquesa original de agencia; el señor Simón ha sido su único dueño. Sé que la señora Rosario, quien lo amó mucho, nunca quiso que se deshiciera del carro; ella quería que él siguiera activo, haciendo lo que tanto le gusta: viajar y mantener viva la ruta para que los visitantes conozcan el pueblo. Me contaron que, por eso, decidió ponerle el letrero: "Soy un vagabundo romántico, Latin Lover viudo", convirtiéndose así en un personaje inolvidable y un auténtico atractivo turístico.
