Native American Graveyard, Birch Hill Cemetery, Fairbanks Alaska. June 2018.
Another apparent incongruity, a Cleveland Indian's baseball cap with an American Indian caricature (Chief Wahoo) adorns a cross
in this Native graveyard.
While offensive to many Native Americans, others embrace (or reappropriate, or exploit) the symbol. It is not uncommon here to see Athabascan men wearing Chief Wahoo hats.
As a former Clevelander and long-time Indians fan I have long held the opinion that Chief Wahoo should be retired. Many Clevelander’s disagree, they use mostly ironic and moronic arguments related to tradition.
Gregory was in a homeless camp underneath the Kennedy Expressway, near Belmont and Kedzie. He's been out here for two years. They have a nice encampment with well-insulated tents. They heat their tents with small camping heaters. "We like to keep it neat around here". They even have a porta potty that a gentleman donated to them and services every two days. Churches and other folks come by and donate food and other supplies. Everything donated they have in a common area in the middle of the camp. Everyone I spoke with was super nice. Gregory hurt his back years ago and isn't able to work. "There are good people in the world", he said.

Either they were sleeping or the crows got smarter these days.
And don't ever dare to try this at work. Bad things happen when you get caught. Just look at them. :))

A new interview with Lorne Fuller from CBC on 11 January 2020. He will be 90 years old next week, on 16 January 2020.
"Meet the Albertan behind all those baseball caps on fence posts near Longview"

A southern Alberta farmer has collected hundreds of hats over the last 25 years and has found a unique way to recycle and display them.
Anyone who has ever driven down Highway 22 near Longview has come across the farmer’s fence that has a baseball cap perched on every post.
Lorne Fuller owns the property and is known by his neighbours for his caps and cars.
“In those days when you went to the city the businesses all would give you a cap,” said Fuller.
He didn’t want to throw them out so he started looking for something to do with the stack of caps.
“We had just got back from a trip up to the Yukon and some farmer way up in northern Alberta, he nailed caps onto the fence post so I thought, there’s a place for these blasted caps so I went downtown and got some boys off the street and we come out here and nailed up the caps and that started the caps.”
Fuller has been popping caps onto the top of the posts since the 1990s and now others are contributing to his project. “There would be a bag or a box of caps at the mailbox with a note on it, here's caps for your project good luck."
He now has an entire hat shack that is filled to the brim with ball caps.
Fuller says the caps are a novelty and that visitors often turn up in his driveway to find out the story behind the fence toppers.
“It’s fun to visit with people and I've certainly met a lot of people over this cap thing, you know,” said Fuller.
Fuller’s passion for caps has even been featured in publications from other countries.
He says one family from Holland stopped by and took photos while on vacation and later sent him a copy of a Dutch magazine that featured his famous fence.

Twenty years old now. No need to buy a new $65,000+ F-150. You almost need to be a millionaire if you want to pay "cash" full price for a new truck. Not a smooth road ahead for the American truck manufacturers if people can't afford the $900 monthly truck payments and stop financing them.
I met Ron on the southwest corner of Madison and Wabash. He's been homeless for five weeks. At the moment, he's staying with a friend until he gets housing, which should be in a few more weeks. He was a positive and encouraging throughout our chat. "Even if you don't win the race, you still want to be cheered on. You need the positive energy--it's not the end!" We kept talking and he said that he wanted to be a writer. "I want to write a story about my life", he said. We started walking down the street and he said, "I'm a conversationalist...you have to listen to do that."
Quick snap of one of the few people I saw walking along Princes Street - from the sidelong look I am getting I think he must have noticed me pointing the camera!

No idea why there are 2 lollipops in this set, they don't make sense, why not a bone or a ball?

I met Murphy for the first time this week. He's a homeless man I've seen for years and he is a lovely human being. He was gracious enough to let me take his picture, so I share him with you :)
As the scarf says, "Simply The Best". Truth be told, there is only one "United". And they play in Manchester.

I pointed out to them that they were watching a pretty old TV, incapable of receiving digital signals, but that did not seem to bother them. Maybe they have Cox Cable converting the signals into analog; I do see a cable, bottom right...
I met Caleb a little over a year ago. This time, he was sitting on the east side of Michigan Avenue, near South Water Street. He had a job a few months back and when the work went away, he had to live on the street again. He was sitting with his cat Napoleon, who's one of the most-loved cats in Chicago. Caleb had a plethora of food, a box of cat toys, and a place for Napoleon to lounge. He had a tent, but last week a bunch of hoodlums poured lighter fluid on it and burned it down, and beat him with a baseball bat. He called 911 and the police eventually found three of the guys, but they just let them go. So now they're living on the street near Macy's. "It's very uncomfortable." He's working on finding a new tent that'll fit him and his cat.
I met this guy on a recent trip to Cambodia and Vietnam. He lost both arms at elbow level and was badly scarred from a landmine.

This is how crazy it can get in the Sprint Cup garage. Way too many people, but they must make a ton of $$$ on Pre-Pit passes.
