They Carry Guns

By Rosa Jurjevics | Published Wednesday, July 15, 2009

It’s a beautiful day in Pacific Beach as Nate approaches the bronze
pelican statue on the boardwalk. He’s slight and blond, spectacled and
clad in jeans and an army-green T-shirt. He squints. The sun’s so
bright overhead that he is prompted to spray a fine mist of sunblock
over his fair skin to stave off a burn.

I’ve never met Nate before, but I know it’s him (a) because I’ve seen
his picture and (b) due to the handgun that sits on a holster against
his hip. I’m about to get up from where I’m sitting and introduce
myself when someone else beats me to the punch. A scraggly-looking
beachgoer, a man of indeterminable age because he is so weather-beaten,
approaches.
