Mark and Donny sat on the sidewalk. Another man I didn't recognize stood near them. His bicycle and attached cart laden with cans leaned against a tree. He was tying and untying various nautical knots on a long coil of white rope. It was a hot afternoon and Mark said hello. We then all launched into a conversation about the clearing of a homeless encampment near Westmoreland Park, half a mile away. It was the one I walked or bicycled through almost every day. At last count, it tallied 12 derelict RVs/trailers, five vehicles (three up on blocks) a pallet/plywood shed crammed full of bicycle parts and lumber, five tents destroying a riparian area of Crystal Springs Creek, and a tent camper buried in a mountain range of accumulation where a heavy metal guitarist lived and rocked out.
