I could post a whole series of pictures of me walking up to the intersection. If it was a dance, it was a slow dance. He was happy to be alive on that beautiful spring day, and the chemicals probably helped too.

:smack:

I thought it was an art installation. Dude doesn't look quite real. Thought he was a statue.

New phone has decent camera, looks like.:)

I didn't mean to become the Ben's Chili Bowl mural reporter, but it looks like that's what's happeneing.

The Wizard are out of the NBA running, so they are gone.

A mural of color in black and white.

Quaint.

Appreciating what you're doing here glatt.

Ali, Prince, Barry & his main squeeze...who is that at the top? Sojourner Truth? Harriet Tubman?

Hell, I can't tell if it's man or woman...

Wonder how many coats of white paint are on that building?

That. Loving the Walking Man.

Thanks guys.

That mural got some press here. Apparently it's going ot be colored in. And some faces got added after I walked by.

This was taken the day before, and I didn't get around to posting it. This guy is just driving around the residential streets, enjoying himself entirely too much.

A mobile porch. :p:

Sweet ride.

I'd be grinning like a cheese-eatin' possum, too.

Saw two things today of note.

The first was a robot just humming down the street, followed by a human babysitter. Pretty interesting. As it passed by me coming from the opposite direction, I veered a little closer to it than I would have with a person, and it veered away from me and continued on its way. The human babysitter responded by pulling out one of those vaporizers and vaping something.

The second thing I saw made me a little sad. A guy holding the hand of his little girl, walking down the sidewalk towards me. Looked like he was finishing off a joint with his other hand. After he passed by me, my nose confirmed it was a joint he was smoking. Pot is semi-legal in DC now, but c'mon. Be a role model for your toddler.

So here's the robot. I think I read somewhere how they were going to be testing automated delivery robots soon.

A couple of bystanders asked the babysitter if it was one of those delivery robots and he said "yeah."

And then they walked along with him.

I kept walking and then about ten minutes later I wound back to the same intersection. The robot was also returning then. That's when I got in its personal space a little bit to see if it would avoid me.
