How much do those guys on the street corners make?

I feel for those trapped, by various means in homelessness. Being from what we used to call the home of the homeless, I've moderately savvy to scams.
the scammers are just one facet of people labeled homeless. But being homeless and vulnerable isn't a kind of fantasy for me, I can see it happening.. People have various vulnerabilities and many of the righteous who were previously condescending are now faced with foreclosure, et al. Not all of them will have back up. So, the cocksure us becomes them.

Rap, tell us more if you want to.

Last sunday in an hour I made about $5, but I think the Reds hat discouraged those going tothe Colorado Rockies game.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to get back down there because of a bicycle crash on Monday---broke my nose (again) stitches in my forehead and some road rash on the face and nose.

I think it also scared the interviewers, especially the guy who though I was 'overqualified." Scared some small children in Krogers too when I went to get Polysporing, milk,ice cream and eggs too.

The other job interviewers ; however were impressed by a guy who could get back on the horse as fast as I have at my age (I'm 60). Necks still score and the scab on the nose attracts stares from strangers.

Mondays interview looks exciting to me because it is looking for someone who is mentally quick and has various skills, who isn't scared of doing anything to get the job dome and can work with their hands as well as their mind.

As for juggling I think in a day or too I'll work my face into a Juggling is dangerous sthick "The result of a Traumatic Juggling Accident" sounds better than hitting a pothole at 23 mph and going asshole over teacups on a bicycle.

But we know Rap, he's one of the longtime smart a2k posters (and what does that matter, it shouldn't, but I've always listened to him when I've seen he has posted).

I don't know his story, and don't want to embarrass him. I can't guess any of us will have bright ideas, but y'never know.

Well, that post was a little late, but I meant for you to talk if you wanted.

Hey Rap - how'd it go?

Hope the face is feeling better. Wishing you well.

I used to drive past a lady in the Bronx on my way home.

Sometimes I gave her a $20.

Going back tomorrow (Wednesday) to meet the other partner in the company--it's a really small technical construction company, actually companies, that caters to biotechnologies manufacturing small scale batch operations and cleanrooms. It seems I'll be a subcontractor (working under a 10-99) that at times will be used as a engineer, sometimes as a project manager, and sometimes as start labor. Definitely a open shop--I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.

The interview was unlike anything I had before--it was more of a minor technical HVAC problem, Working up a heat balabce now.

The guy was impressed by my "Jack of many trades, master of some" cover letter
