  1. That’s horrible. I saw an African American guy around town many times on numerous street intersections watching traffic and sort of dancing around on a big tricycle the last couple of years when the weather was nicer. I motioned a “Hi” to him a couple of times but didn’t get a response.

    Again, that’s horrible.

  2. This is very sad a friend came in and told me about D a few days ago.D would come in the shop, and I remember once he had a dvd player mounted to his trike, another one that I remember was D and 2 of his younger kids riding in the basket of his trike leaving mcdonalds and all 3 of them had the biggest smiles and laughing.
