Pays to be prepared 2
Another instructional video from the Everett TweakerCam.
This fellow is showing us how to palpate a street with a bucket. He spent several minutes in the middle of the street, bravely enduring heavy rain and traffic, to demonstrate correct tapping techniques, both rhythmic and non-rhythmic. Finally he moved onto the curb where he sat down in a puddle and raised the intensity of the tutorial, demonstrating the two-hand technique, the one-hand technique, the throwing the bucket technique, the kicking the bucket technique, and finally using the bucket to palpate his own head for calibration.
Gotta be prepared for every eventuality! You never know when a Bucketized Street Palpator job will open up!

In a more serious vein: Yesterday the cam caught the most miserable man in the universe. He's not one of the regulars, and clearly not from this part of the country. NYC or Philly type. Looks EXACTLY like Jack Palance. I'd guess he was a traveling salesman who got knocked down by gambling. He was still dressed for sales and golf, with a jaunty blue fedora, giving the impression that he had finished 18 rounds and then slid all the way down onto Skid Row without stopping. He sat on the curb, drinking beer and occasionally smoking something that wasn't tobacco. The smoke made him even more miserable. I've never seen a more MISERABLE person in my life, and I've been around a fair bit of misery. I'm hoping one of the regular TweakerCam aggregators shows the sequence. Maybe somebody who knows him will see it.
Later: Dream Free got the bucket action and the Palance action. The regular livestream chatters give names to every character in the scene, including the trash cans and rats. Dream Free named the miserable man 'Lenny', showing that his NYCness is universally obvious.
