We snapped this picture 2 weeks ago. Many of us, particularly those who stay around White Sands, will recognize this guys familiar silhouette and walk. I wont give his name but he's been working the stretch of beach around White Sands for more than 15 years (he's about to turn 40!). Last year, while I was walking down the beach, a tourist came flying out of his chair at White Sands and started yelling at a Jamaican with a similar look, Danny who has short bleached dreads and walks the beach selling shells -- and nothing but shells. Seems the tourist was upset with a diferrent type of transaction and was blaming the purveyor of shells. I tried to intercede but the tourist had already stormed off. I explained to Danny that "this is a case of mistaken identity" and we had a good laugh. When I saw Danny this year he remembered the incident and told me the man apologized later in the week.
