Brilliant. It's not often that things like this happen, and osmething is done for the greater good of the world rather than oppressing it. We have a similar local hero, nicknamed Market Dave. I've seen him around since i was a little girl, and his greatest joy is to collect things in his wheelbarrow. I think he takes them to the tip. So he's a great hand to have around.

I love this. I found myself thinking about it for several days, and realized that I loved it so much that I actually referenced it on my own blog :) <BR/><BR/>Hope that's OK - I'm a loyal reader and find your insights to be funny, lovely, and so deep at times.

"...hours of sciencey lectures so densely packed with bastardizations of my beloved English language that they caused me to doubt I could ever really string a sentence together in the first place..."<BR/><BR/>First of all I absolutely love the story, but I also feel that this sentence deserves special honorable mention, especially because you've captured how I often feel working in finance.

We are all humans. We should never say no to waving at strangers. I did that on the school bus and at some point stopped. Stopping was foolish.

We had a guy like that in the 80's in Anchorage, AK. Floyd was his name. He was always at the same street corner (southwest corner of Minnesota Dr and Spenard Rd).<BR/><BR/>Always held a small cardboard sign saying "wave hi to floyd", he was cool.<BR/><BR/>Once in a while, some asswipe would get in a huff and call the cops... Eventually they'd come around to make sure Floyd wasn't doing anything

Well, what a whacky coincidence! I was literally just looking up some photos of Leslie Cochran (a vagrant transvestite in Austin, Texas who ran for mayor and came in second) to send to my family in England, and then I came over here to catch up and voila!

I love this story!! I think it may be my favourite so far.<BR/><BR/>Also, I have told everyone in my office about it, they loved it too. So it's been decided that we're all going to come and visit you and hang out with the bridge man. Then we're going to make a film about it and then you'll both be famous.<BR/><BR/>That mean women will LOVE that.<BR/><BR/>Just thought I'd let you know.<BR/><BR/>
