I do enjoy looking at the random things that people post on poles. There are a lot of stories represented by this stuff. Like this pair things I saw in the Old Port…in my mind there is a direct link between the two .

But at any rate, I want to think that punch was real and not staged for the photo. And, what’s in the bag on the sidewalk? And is that one guy’s fly unzipped? And why does the white design on the window make me think of powdered sugar decorations?
