I don't think the Streetwise guy on the corner of my block likes me very much. Not that I need the validation of a newspaper-selling homeless person (and I honestly didn't intend for that to sound mean), but it's just a hassle. The other day he asked, like usual, "Streetwise?" to which I said "Sorry. But you have a nice night," to which he kinda shrugged his shoulders, grumbled something, and gave me a less-than-pleasant look. Then the other day he saw me approaching and started yelling out whatever headline was on Streetwise that week, and I shrugged my shoulders and said sorry. "Broke?" he asked. "Yeah," I replied. "Well guess what? So am I!!" he yelled to me as I walked away. Perhaps I should move.
