😎 The guy in the chair at the falls

Most non-winter days since he retired 12 years ago, Jerry Miller fires up his Harley-Davidson and rambles down the river road from his home in Seward to Minnehaha Park. Once there, he sets up his camp chair in the same shady spot between Sea Salt and the Falls, tunes his radio headphones to Jazz88, sips his coffee, and quietly takes in the scene. 

I don’t know what your retirement fantasy looks like, but he’s pretty much living mine. 

I finally got a chance to chat with Jerry after years of noticing him in his spot. He turns out to have every bit the serene affability you’d expect out of someone who spends his afternoons marinating in one of the happiest places in the state. And some good stories to boot.
