Walkin' man

[Gravdigr]

I used to get slop and walk around town. Then they started arresting ppl for that...

[glatt]

I think I was trying to type "slow" but the keys are on opposite sides of the keyboard. I must really be too slop.

I didn't take this picture. I found it when I was Googling who the hell that band was playing in the park on my lunch hour half an hour ago.


Who's that handsome devil in the corner?

[xoxoxoBruce]

glatt the photobomber.

[Gravdigr]

How cool to accidentally find yourself on the interwebs...

[Clodfobble]

But if someone were actually stalking glatt and trying to discreetly take photos of his every move, that's exactly what they'd do--pretend to be taking a picture of some random couple, but actually have the camera focused on him in the background.





It's not paranoia if they're really out to get you.

Who's that handsome devil in the corner?

And why is he cupping his junk?

Walking Man is in one of the most photographed locations in the country. I'll bet he's in a shitload of photographs scattered around the world from MI6 to KGB to Mossad to NKMSS, to ASIO to CIB to... well you get the picture... they did.

I was actually taking pictures. But I feel self conscious holding my camera up, so I just take pictures from down low. Chrisinhouston should examine this technique.

What an odd turn of events.

That's his phone, and it's on vibrate.

This old truck has been parked for years on the edge of my neighborhood. Same spot. Current inspection, property tax, and registration stickers. It's right next to the gas station, where cars are parked that are waiting to be worked on.

Several months ago a note appeared on the inside of the passenger window.



Not sure what it's about. Maybe people have been throwing trash up into the bed? It's got high walls and I can't see into the bed.

Nice handwriting though. Doesn't look like a sociopath wrote it.

[glatt]

I was curious, so I went to Google Earth. It's been in that same spot since at least October 2012.

[Gravdigr]

Well, that's a little odd.

It's a tradition here at Walkin' Man to see what sort of summer exhibit they do over at the National Building Museum. But don't pay for it.

So on July 5th I went over there. I had seen workers making the thing a couple weeks before, but it wasn't very impressive while under construction.

It's the Icebergs exhibit.

Sixteen dollars to see what's behind the blue curtain. No way. I'm way too cheap for that. It looks cool and intriguing, but not $16 worth.

Let's go upstairs instead for free and see what we can.

Here we can see the tops of the icebergs poking through the "water." Those people looking around seem to be enjoying themselves. But so am I. And I didn't pay $16.


Like a real iceberg, I get the sense that most of the action is underneath the surface where we can't really see. What's going on down there?


I went back downstairs and stood right next to the mesh curtain. That close, you could see almost perfectly inside. Bean bag chairs, some slides, and a small snack bar. Cool.
