There are some crazy folks around here!

Ok so I live in Phelan California. It is a small town surrounded by mountains and desert, not much else. Being a small town you see the same folks often well today while standing in line to apply for a job at the only grocery store in town with 100 other folks it dawned on me, I have seen each and every one of these people before.

So anyways after they cut off the line and sent the majority of people home at 8am I went to my favorite place to use the free wifi.....ok only place in town with wifi and as usual there are the same few characters sitting with their $1 cup talking the trash talk they do so well about the community and how there is no jobs etc. Now normally I just ignore them go sit outside and pretend I don't exist, today I sat inside and was treated to the comic stylings of the homeless bunch as I call them.

One guy Ill call humpty, hes late 30's mid 40's and his mouth only stops spewing wise cracks long enough to stuff his pie hole with gram crackers. His "pad" is down by the aqueduct in Pinon Hills apparently.  He has some sort of mental disorder, maybe schizophrenia. You can see how his personality changes minute by minute.

Then there is his sidekick "Curley Joe". He is trying to graduate high school, here doing his classwork, once in a while he pops up with some sort of comment or question bust most of all when he does he laughs so hard it makes everyone around him giggle and laugh. I have a feeling that this guy has more to do but chooses so.

Then there is "Old Smokey"  This guy only laughs and drinks his coffee when he isn't smoking. Even though he is the quiet one you can tell hes important to the guys, they all pay attention to him and in one form or another they seem to pay tribute to him.

Now there is "Marc" this dude is unstable and self medicating. He preaches God and Love while he sells his weed and meth. He looks more clean cut than the others but you can see the show he puts on is to hide behind.

Then there is "Scary Lady" She shows up in a van, you know the one that looks like it should say "FREE CANDY" on the side. She shows up they shut up she talks about going some place to "WORK", when she leaves they all pile in and go to some place I hope far far away.

So yeah some crazy folks huh, maybe I have discovered part of the theft problem in the area lol.....oh wait hmmm
