Think these guys just decided to sit in the shade at this corner.

23 August

Dee clowns around as Larry watches. Larry knows everything that is going on. He says police gave him a ticket yesterday. Asked him about the carts at the corner. He said they belong to “mother,” a woman he says is bald. Dee asked if we wanted them out of here. Yes! Dee picked up the remaining cart on the corner and brought it over before clowning around. Told the two boys neighborhood wants the area cleaned up. He said they will move on and take the carts with them, maybe move to the bus stop on Lincoln to sit. Larry was asked about the lady who walks in the middle of traffic waving hello and soliciting. Larry said she’s pregnant and on heroin, both she and guy she is with are on heroin. Larry said he gave her $10 yesterday. Then Larry went on and on about a pregnant woman on drugs or alcohol, which is obviously one of his pet peeves. Both moved peacefully with the carts and stuff that was lying on the ground.
