Not all ago I was leaving work work on Park Avenue South and 26th Street when I spotted a very scruffy, apparently homeless guy carrying something very oddly shaped. It was still daylight, the weather was good and he was carrying what looked like pipe.
Well, it was pipe. It was a configuration of pipe that was soldered at different angles and looked like it had been ripped out from somewhere. It looked like the metal framework for an awning, without the awning. Large, and unwieldy. There were even faucets attached. Without being in either a building or a dumpster, it looked very much out of place.
He was making his way along the sidewalk, somewhat balancing this plumbing around his head, and somewhat trying not to hit anyone with it. He stopped at a corner and waited for the light to change so he could cross Park Avenue South.
So far it's the closest I've come to seeing someone carrying everything but the kitchen sink.
