9 parts water : 1 part sand



not too many days go by where i see something and think..... gee that was a little weird: yesterday on the train home there was this really strange guy i have seen a few times over the year. one of those peeps who ride the subways for a living and he normally wanders around the car and freaks all out and asks for change. so he gets in the car and sprawls out on the bench and empties his pockets of all his change... a big hand full of quarters a leaves them on the bench. the guy next to him has his ipod on looks at the change an probably thinks that that was his weird quota for the day. so the mental guy gets up and walks down the car and starts asking people for change and then opens the door to the next car and starts car hopping asking for change, leaving say $10 - $15 on the bench.... what's up with the subway car hoppers anyway? straight past empty seats to the front or back of the train and sometimes back again?
