Help the masterless/ everywhere 3 signs

Every now and then, you'll be driving up Military and spot somebody who needs work. You can just tell by the way they stare at the cars and they pose as best they can - hoping to reach out to some soul who will need them. I encountered one of these people this week. He looked sickly. His face was gray and his body had lost most of its humanly shape. He held out a platter, and he must have been holding it for some long period of time. It seemed stuck to his hand. He broke my heart, just standing there... staring... not moving. I'll bet he makes an excellent sweet tea.


Well, this picture's a little muddy - here's another. On the left is how I found him. On the right is the picture he took from his wallet from just over a year ago. Poor guy.
Ugh, I have to look away! You can see his guts through his skin! (Uhlblblblbla!)

Anyway, this is my appeal: please drive to where he stands - here's a map. He's at the bottom right of the triangle of median grass. Give him a break. Toss him some money. Or let him launder your clothes, draw your bath and tuck you in at night. In exchange, he'll have a safe home where he can become family and get his BMI above supermodel level.

What, you say? What is that other arrow pointing to in the picture? Welp, I'm in the process of figuring that out myself. I was thinking it might be YET ANOTHER 3-way advertising billboard going up. You've seen them all over town. The ad surface is a series of 3-sided rods that turn, splitting the time between 3 different ads.

It gets your glance at first like a lava lamp, with all its gloppy grooviness. Or a tie-dyed sheet billowing in the wind as it hangs, clipped to the traveling parking lot merchant's trailer. "Neato puh-frito..." you say under your Mountain Dew breath - and then, before you know it, you've been (gasp!) marketed!!

Originally, I took the first picture above just to raise awareness for the out-of-work serverbot man. But when I looked at the picture on my computer, I realized that there was a billboard being constructed in the background.


I noticed that on another 3-way billboard up Military a few blocks that there was a tiny sign in the bottom right corner that read, "EVERETT." The only ad on the billboard was for Everett Motors. I'm thinking perhaps that sign belongs to the people who own Everett Motors, so I call to see if they own the other sign too.

I talked to Dwight Everett, the nice fellow who owns the place (see my post from last fall), and he tells me he owns all those 3-way signs, but he does not own the billboard being constructed in this picture. That one belongs to insurance agent Greg Thomas. Maybe one of these guys making all the ad dollar up and down Military could use a butler, eh? Something to think about.

Okay, the sign doesn't move this fast, but you get the idea.
