Up a different tree

I'm able to provide a picture of the guy from Tuesday's entry, about the frond thief, courtesy of the Sheriff's Office.

Seems he was busted for "municipal ordinance violation" -- which usually means drinking on the street -- on Fleming Street soon after our encounter.

I'm of two minds about that ordinance: Tourists and supposedly solid citizens carry cups openly on Duval; it's the bums who get rousted. And I am a big fan of equal enforcement.

But apparently I'm also a good occupation-guesser: I wrote that he was likely a "hat-weaving panhandler," and the sheriff's site listed him as . . . "artist, panhandler."

Sometimes I hate it when I'm right.
