a little light on Tragedy Street

most of the time we don't see much that uplifts the human spirit here on Tragedy Street. This young man has been walking these little dogs down this sidewalk with care and consideration for several years. Who is he? He is not homeless because he looks relatively clean and healthy and content. He is not one of the rich people who live down the next block at the 500k and up condos next to the Federal Building (just a short walk thru Hell to the Opera House!) It was a puzzle. But then I saw the "Guardian Angels" headquarters down the street in an office above a Medical Assistant's Uniform store. There was the dogwalker and his girlfriend in red berets. Puzzle solved.
Most of the incidents here  on Tragedy Street include an Ambulance or an Argument.
The arguments we hear are enhanced by the wonderful alley-like acoustics around here. These "arguments" often occur after 2:30am. And these substance, desperation fueled yelling bouts make Mel Gibson sound like Dale Carnegie.
