riddle me this?

I always see parents asking kids what they want. Do you want the green one or the yellow one? Do you want to go to the park or do you want to go to the zoo?  But then when they go into McDonald's, the kids always always want a different table and the parents never let them choose that.  Asking them whether they want to major in aeronautics or liberal arts is a little more expensive than asking them which table they want to sit at.  I think we've got it backwards.

sky stripes

A big bizarre v in the sky and several horizontal stripes along the coast, now dissapating.

skystripe

One little one, kind of indistinct, West of Congress near 6th / Melaleuca.

Supposed to eat herbs and fruit. For some reason unknown, that does not include leaves and roots. Eat seeds and what's around the seeds, and interestingly enough me became acceptable because after the deluge, the plants were dead.

sky stripes

The long one mentioned earlier has nearly faded, but it went from the North down to Boynton, basically North to South but ended up East of Seacrest, having started west of Congress north of 10th.... Now there's another one in that same path that didn't start out as far north and instead of heading South it went a little more Southeast and then there's another one that was basically North to South but all three were close together.

sky stripes

Right overhead, 10th and Congress, they're getting started on some straight North and South stripes. This one is so close I can see its double stream very clearly. And the remnants of other ones.

the psychology of panhandling

So there are certain parts of certain towns, where people come up and ask for money. It's certain intersections, and certain shopping centers. and I remember in Orlando, certain gas stations. Now I know some of this is organized, with panhandlers showing up for their shift and exchanging their cardboard signs that say God Bless and being dropped off at certain times and so forth. including the McDonald's on Forest Hill and Congress where they take their afternoon breaks, but all these people are not organized. But the ones that talk about bus fare, is that actually true? Because it seems like it happens a lot.   But is that part of the spiel, or if I was a panhandler would I actually want money for a bus?  People that talk about a bus, which I'm going to lump in with the people who need to take the Greyhound back to their town, meaning, I don't believe them, seems so well practiced in their story and then they just run off as soon as they get money instead of seeing genuinely grateful.  But I can tell you this, the people who make the God Bless signs could make them a little bigger.

sky stripes

Apparently were busy for a while I see some horizontal ones that are extremely clear south of Lake Worth, probably Boynton.

sky stripes

I'm in Boynton and there's the biggest one ever going almost straight up for quite a long ways and the remnants of several more vertical ones along the coast.

skystripes

I'm here at the former ghetto McDonald's by the Palm Beach Maritime Academy and there is a sky stripe right above me that is very low. The sky is so blue but it's so cold.

Lots of sky stripe remnants in every direction. I'm in Boynton.  They seem low.
