I hope you will let us know how today's "Street Corner Rendevous" went!

@violas ...

 

[stealth2]

Guess not...

 

[quincy]

Guess not...

Maybe everyone moved to different corners ...

 

[Just Blue]

Maybe everyone moved to different corners ...

In the right corner wearing saffron robes and carrying a cane is Viola!
In the left corner wearing jeans, a dirty tee-shirt of indeterminate color and carrying a guitar is Homelessman!!

ding ding ding...Let's get ready to rumble!!!!!

Okay - you got a guffaw!

 

[Just Blue]

I can live my life in joy, knowing I gave you a guffaw.

It even made me laugh on the second reading.

I'm glad. Seriously, making someone chuckle in these depressing times is gratifying.

In some secluded rendezvous,
Upon the corner avenue,
With Hare Krisnas in delightful chat,
Of this and that,
And cocktails for two.

 

[stealth2]

Excellent, Ron! I was on the phone, so had to chuckle quietly, to save myself a long explanation.

OK. Remember the police said that if the man gets in our face and yells at us and threatens us that we were to call 911 immediately and they would arrive on the scene. I called 911 when he started his yelling and guess what!!! The police didn't even come and talk to the man!!! They just drove around the block twice and did nothing!!! When I got home, I called the police to ask why they didn't come and help us!!! The police are now saying only call 911 if the man is "physically violent". The police said he can yell at us and be as "totally obnoxious" as he wants as long as he isn't physically violent or make threats of doing physical violence against us.

Gee, just imagine. He has the same rights you do. Who'da thunk it?

So, the police arrived, observed, and decided it was just a bunch of yelling. I would, however, urge you to remember "the boy who cried wolf" in your 911 calls.

Thank you for the update, violas.

It is probably in your group’s best interests and the guitar-player’s best interest to try to reach some sort of a truce, as disturbances like you describe drives the public away and defeats the purpose of your street corner activities.

I hope you can come to a satisfactory resolution. Good luck.
