“Several television stations have covered the “Woman in Black” when she has passed through, reporting that some believe the woman, who rarely speaks, is on a religious mission.”
Over/Under in days until she is beheaded by Islamic radicals?
She seems very sad. I hope nobody harms her.
My first thought was how many "women in black" this news report could create?
Sounds like a bit of emotional/mental illness. Poor thing - hope she’s not harmed.
Made me think of an old song “She walks this hills in a long black veil...” Hope she comes to no harm, and is able to come to terms with the deaths of her loved ones.
Probably a 90-day promotional stunt leading up to the product launch of Black Maiden Tennessee Sipping Whiskey.
La Llorona. Run for your lives!
Still, these self-styled news readers and even the writers can conceive of no more context for noting the woman's passing by than the interest seen in another medium.
The fluttering laughter heard in the woman newsreader's voice at the end of the segment seemed desperately hollow, perhaps even suicidal.
Were they even listening, or did they miss completely what Shakespeare wrote, about there being "more things in Heaven and Earth than are dream't of in your philosophy"?

“Baby’s In Black”
Oh dear, what can I do?
Baby’s in black and I’m feeling blue
Tell me, oh what can I do?
She thinks of him and so she dresses in black
And though he’ll never come back, she’s dressed in black
Oh dear, what can I do?
Baby’s in black and I’m feeling blue
Tell me, oh what can I do?
I think of her, but she thinks only of him
And though it’s only a whim, she thinks of him
Oh how long will it take
Till she sees the mistake she has made?
Dear what can I do?
Baby’s in black and I’m feeling blue
Tell me, oh what can I do?
Oh how long it will take
Till she sees the mistake she has made?
Dear what can I do?
Baby’s in black and I’m feeling blue
Tell me, oh what can I do?
She thinks of him and so she dresses in black
And though he’ll never come back, she’s dressed in black
Oh dear, what can I do?
Baby’s in black and I’m feeling blue
Tell me, oh what can I do?
IIRC, he wintered in Florida and would pass through Macon, GA on his way back north for the summer. He seemed quite old to me back then, but now I'd guess that he was in his 60's.
He had a small camping wagon pulled by goats. He must have had a dozen or more and probably worked them in shifts.
IIRC, (again) he would talk about the Bible to whomever stopped to chat.
Well, looky here! I just decided to try to look him up and found this article.
I thought of David Carradine in the 1970’s TV series “Kong Fu.”
I hope she finds a nice warm place before winter —
She has to be very hot walking completely covered in heat-absorbing black in mid summer.

Like “Red Friday” showing support for the deployed military we should have a “Black Monday” to mourn the immorality of our nation. Ripping our cloaks and throwing dust on our heads is also appropriate.
