PLEASE READ THE ARTICLE BEFORE LOOKING AT THE PICTURE. I NEED TO EXPLAIN THE PICTURE!

Today after lunch he was out again. Not long after several of us got out there, he stood up and stared, as if waiting, beckoning for a retaliation from us. Sure enough that one kid that loves to egg him on made his usual bird call, and the guy sat down, as if thats all he got up for. Not much happened for a few minutes, then he started yelling again. He yelled something that was really short, just one word, not sure what it was. Immediatley after hearing this the usual co-worker yelled something really quick back at him, then the drunk guy yelled it again, then the co-worker again, and they went on like this for probably 30 seconds, both yelling things that werent words. He started yelling some more and the same kid made his bird calls, this time doing a dance along with them, where he squatted and flapped his arms.

As I was going out to my car at the end of they day, he yelled something at me, and I kinda understood some of it. It definatley had something to do with beer, he either wanted to sell me some beer or give me a beer or possibly he wanted beer from me. I wouldnt attempt a guess as to which it actually was.

I did get a picture today as I was driving by after work. Now I took it while in my car while driving, so I didnt exactly get him centered, and it isnt as clear as it could be, but I'll try for a better one tomorrow. In the picture you can clearly see the guys house and porch. That yellow tape out front is around some large hole, I assume the city was doing some pipe work or something. The Drunk man is on the left side of the porch, wearing his usual blue work outfit and blue hat. The guy next to him is his buddy who just sits there most of the time, never gets up or anything through all of these incidents. Near the right of the picture you can see the start of the alley where he stood and stared at us, as talked about in the 6/3/04 entry. If you look very closely near the tree on the front right of the house, you can see his satellite dish just barely through the trees, mounted on the side of his house. Last but not least, if you look in my rearview mirror, you can see the roof of the building where I work, very near that roof is where we take our breaks outside, just a little to the right.
