The box man cometh - By N.L. Belardes
This is a meaningless entry at the expense of some guy who is really into his cart. I love it. It's cardboard heaven. But it passes quick... once you sit through the annoying red light.

Shopping cart people are in the game man! They pick up our trash and make 'em some cash. Just think if they weren't walking the streets of Bakersfield how trashed they'd be. And do they get any other compensation from our city administration? Medical? Dental?...no, but they might get an occasional egg tossed at 'em or howdy doo from a middle finger...Thank you,and Happy Holidays cart people!
That dude had a mega-cart. Ingenuity.
That takes talent, most definitely. I think that dude is McGyver disguised as a shopping cart dude. He can also make a bomb out of a piece of gum and a paperclip if he needs to.
Yeah, that cart was pretty awesome!
I tell ya, one of these days somebody's gonna figure out this un-tapped "vehicle of citywide advertising". Make signs up for your company or local "happening', give these guys a buck or two, and...BAMMO!...your advertisement goes citywide man! As you wait in traffic you see the cartman and the brightly colored advertisement attached, reading- " BUY MY BOOKS@N.L.BELARDES.COM"...another cutting edge idea by ol' tumbleweed...you're welcome
Now I just have to find that guy!
Hey speaking of giving the needy a few bucks..
Last night this lady walked across the street from the Tav Cam and was asking for money to feed her family. My coworker said he wouldn't give her money, but offered to buy her a pizza.
She said, "Actually I'd rather take the money, because I also wanted to help my neighbors out and I don't know if one pizza will be enough."
He said, "Well how many people are you trying to feed?"
She responded, "Well, my family, then four.. I think four, I'm really not sure. See that's why I'd rather you give me $20.00 instead of the pizza."
He said, "No, I can just send a couple of large pizzas. That should be able to feed all of you."
To which she responded, "No thank you. I think I'll just keep asking to see if anybody just has the cash."
She is obviously not a very smart woman. I would have taken the pizza, then continued to search for someone to give me the $20.00 to pay for my vice.
Maybe the crack hunger in her couldn't see that pizza was nourishment.
We occasionally get people from the Tav Cam coming in and asking if they can do stuff around the office like clean windows, pick up trash, etc for some cash. That's always nice. It's better than a handout, in my opinion.
We had a regular for a while. His name was Solomon. He'd come in every day and clean our windows and pull weeds, etc. But then he started coming in drunk and so we had to cut him off.
damn drunks
I always make sure to chew gum when I come to work drunk so they can't smell my drunkness. Oops. I mean.. ummmm.... yeah, Damn drunks.
damn gum chewers
Funny video, that is a very creative box cart!
