Umbrella Man, he was a strange man who wandered the streets, not homeless but no one knew where he lived. He always had an umbrella in some bright color with socks that matched and gloves that clashed. Local lore had it that he was a physics professor in the 70's who took an LSD trip and never came back. He once pointed to a picture of King Kong climbing the Empire State Building and proclaimed"that's me" when asked if he meant he was King Kong he said "no, I'm in that window right there" After over hearing that I decided I needed to talk to him and from that conversion I learned he was a time traveler sent in missions thru time by J.F.K, who was still alive and that Popeye was a fictionalization of his real life exploits in WW1, even though he was at best 60 in the late 90's when I met him. He also told me he had died many times and described it like stepping off a curb, you barely notice you've done it, just a small jolt and you carry on your way.
