A good day

So I knew yesterday was going to be a good day when I was able to walk by both Starbucks and Diesel Cafe without being approached by any of the kids repping Save The GreenPeace Children from Masspirg.  Then I started to wonder, why is it that these guys can so relentlessly solicit donations everyday, yet if they were to put down their clipboards and strap on a guitar and play for donations they could be ticketed or asked to stop for performing without a permit.

What's up with the priorities around here.  I'd much rather be passing by a street performer than a political missionary.

Turkey is really effing awesome, so I don't get the comparison.

you cant walk 5 feet without being poked & prodded by a cadre of beggarrs, buskers, and merchants. At least in Davis you can go 15 or 20 feet.

We mostly ignored that. It was part of the atmosphere.
