This is to the guy on Spring Garden Road who can’t take no for an answer: Leave me alone! Once too often you cornered me with your hand out asking for change.

Then his schizophrenia set it. *Shrugs* Not that I feel like he deserves money. Haha. This guy approached my co-worker and sang to him for a cigarette, though…
