Unbelieveably, there's a "panhandler" standing on the traffic island a few weeks ago when the temperature was BARELY breaking 0°F...
So, I thought to myself, "Self? Why don't you pull out your Cannon and get a shot of this? He's standing near a light pole w/his "Homeless. Anything will help." placard."
So I reach down, pull out the Cannon and turn it on...the lens extends and since I'm about 4 cars back from him (waiting to make a left turn at the light) I needed to "zoom in" and focus.
Well, Mr. Homeless sees my camera perched on the steering wheel for stability and he folds his placard/sign in half and quickly tucks it in his jacket and turns his face AWAY from me.
The next few weeks, he's gone from the corner...AAMOF, no one is using the corner.
Now, I have to admit, it's not been the best of weather this past week, but on Wednesday, he showed up again...same spot and same sign. I quickly whipped out the camera, but I think he spoted me right way...he folded and ducked again.
And again, Thursday and yesterday, he wasn't around. Even his bucket he was using for sitting on is gone.
I really doubt he's homeless...more like "America's Most Wanted" is more the likely situation.
I wonder if the local cops even bother checking these clowns out? I'd like to see an IRS Agent do a "spot audit" on these stinkers.
Yah! I know! "Where's your 'Donate a MickeyD's Card' attitude?"
Well, after that repeated display... I think he can probably afford alot more than me with his tax-free stipends from the traveling public.
