do you have alot of those oh I don't know what to call them... people who dress up or hold up the big cardboard signs and stand out on the street corner and wave at you? Omaha is chock full of them. I don't know how much they make, but holy cow it's COLD outside!!! You couldn't pay me enough!
Today it was women dressed up like the Statue of Liberty.... advertising for Liberty Tax Services (cute eh?). I saw 2 different ones...I actually waved at the one... is that bad? She seemed so nice and COLD. Poor thing. I felt she needed a friendly wave, bless her heart. Hubby thinks they're all crack whores working for their habit!!! LOL
I also saw a person with the big signs....for Old World Market. They're closing our stores here in Omaha.
Halloween brings out the costume shop goodies. Gorillas, pirates, grim reaper and mummies. The Maggie Moo cow is out once a while too... big udders on that one!!!
Also around town are the "Will work for Food" people. The -20 temps drove them indoors to the shelters, but since it's warming up a bit.... they'll be back out.
Is it just a midwest thing? Is it the desperate economy we're in??? Hmmmm things to ponder...

Nope, it's not just the midwest. There are certain areas of town that have the sign folks out and about quite a bit here in Central Texas. We also have a Liberty Tax guy who wears the statue of liberty costume. He must be in his late 60's and very weathered. I remember passing him EVERYDAY at 8:00 in the morning and again at 5:00 in the evening. He was out in the cold and the rain! I was surprised to see him again this year. CRAZY if you ask me!
