newspaper man

there's this old man at the traffic light every day selling paper, dressed quite well for his job , formal pants full sleeved shirt, and shoes . Moving from one cab to the other till the time red light goes green. He can't see all that well , one needs to stretch hand full out to draw his attention( to suggest I want paper). His frame is light and slightly hunched , his specs give a feeling of eyesight which is just about there(or whole lot which isn't). The small change you give him is rarely counted , excess never returned and less neverso noticed. He must be well over 70 if not more. What gets him moving .....whats he working for...who is he going back to..
