Sign o’ the Times

Coming into work this morning I noticed a homeless man pushing a homeless woman in a wheelchair. A pretty common sight when you live/work in the downtown area. What struck me about this particular pair was the effort this man was putting into keep everything together. They had a dog on a leash that was swaying from side to side which was making it difficult for him to keep the chair on track. Their belongings were piled so high he was unable to see clearly. All the while trying to maintain a lit cigarette without using his hands.

So they finally stop at the light at 29th & K. I look over and see that the women is holding a cup of coffee (what looked to be Starbucks, of course) and is reading a magazine. I had to look closely to see that she was reading People magazine. Yes, as you would expect in the year 2006, homeless folks are also curious as to why Brad and Angelina are moving so fast.

I am sure she was also following Brangelina’s bumpwatch of 2006 and how Aniston is taking it all. It affects us all.

Maybe the woman wanted some more time to read her magazine and enjoy her caramel macchiato on her way to work. This could be a prototype for a new pedicab industry in downtown Sacramento. I heard that they tried it in New York, but the homeless guy took off with the rickshaw
