Hans, my Father's Neighbor. Evening. March 1.

The man said, "Schwul."

There is an individual, somewhere in my neighborhood or thereabouts, who writes "Moe" on just about every sign and wall you see around here. Well, that's an exaggeration, but "Moe" is everywhere. He writes it with an umlaut on the "o", so I guess it's pronounced like a mentally challenged person saying "more".

What a strange obsession. I've written before about Warden, and how he likes to mark his territory. I guess "Moe" is really in touch with his inner dog! Or maybe he just wants to give us a unifying theme in our complex environment.

Me, I've taken to saying it out loud every time I see it, just because it makes me laugh. I don't know how "Moe" pronounces it personally.

I think if I get into graffiti as a hobby (lol), my signature would be "Butter", also with an umlaut. I would like to be one of those people who marks the top of a bridge or an overpass and every time you pass it you wonder, "how the hell did they get up there?" Now that's something to be proud of!
