Picnic, table

 

The police drop off some guy from their squadcar, 9 am 

At the corner of this park. He's mumbling, a clear plastic bag holding his possessions.

A tweaker, who's to say. The homes around have overflowing wino bins of glass. 

He joins my picnic 

(As pack my nighttime gear to depart.) 


Table. I depart

Community Funded Music

 

"In a nutshell, busking and begging may be alike for that they both solicit donations in public space, but at the same time busking should be distinguishable from begging in that it additionally provides performance and entertainment which have the potential to make public space more favorable.Dec 2, 2021"

_____


"Street performing is legally considered to be artistic free speech and is protected, just as is panhandling or begging."

_____ 


"Subsistence strategies such as panhandling (begging for money, food or other items), busking (providing entertainment for money), and squeegeeing (washing car windshields for money) are 

 informal economic activities commonly associated with homelessness" 

_____ 


"Performances are anything that people find entertaining, including acrobatics, animal tricks, balloon twisting, caricatures, clowning, comedy, contortions, escapology, dance, singing, fire skills, flea circus, fortune-telling, juggling, magic, mime, living statue, musical performance, puppeteering, snake charming, storytelling or reciting poetry or prose, street art such as sketching and painting, street theatre, sword swallowing, ventriloquism and washboarding. "


"Some of the bands that performed in this manner were Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company, the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Country Joe and the Fish, Moby Grape and Jimi Hendrix. "


"Joshua Bell, a noted classical violinist, posed as a busker in the L'Enfant Plaza Metro station in Washington, D.C. at rush hour in 2007, as part of a feature in The Washington Post.  

In the 45 minutes that Bell played, only seven people out of over a thousand who passed by stopped to watch, and he took in just over $32. 

 Gene Weingarten later won a Pulitzer Prize for the story."

"However, according to Multnomah County’s jail booking criteria, that charge is a bookable offense.  

KOIN 6 reached out to Portland Police to ask why McClatchey was only cited if he faces charges he can be arrested for — 

 especially as these cases continue, including past charges for similar crimes that he’s accused of — 

 but have not received an answer."

Al Bloodgood NFL

  

Bloodgood made his professional debut in the NFL playing two years with the Kansas City Cowboys in 1925-1926.  

On December 12, 1926 against the Duluth Eskimos he tied an NFL record (with Paddy Driscoll) of  


4 drop-kicked field goals in a single game. 


 The drop kick is significantly more difficult; as Jim Thorpe once explained, "I regard the place kick as almost two to one safer than the drop kick in attempting a goal from the field."


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Bloodgood

____ 

 

"In both American and Canadian football, one method of scoring a field goal, fair-catch kick (American Football only), or extra point is by drop-kicking the football through the goal, although the technique is very rarely used in modern play."  


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_kick#American_and_Canadian_(gridiron)_football 



the only successful drop kick in the NFL since 1941 was by Doug Flutie, the backup quarterback of the New England Patriots, against the Miami Dolphins on January 1, 2006, for an extra point after a touchdown. 

 Flutie had estimated "an 80 percent chance" of making the drop kick,  which was called to give Flutie, 43 at the time, the opportunity to make a historic kick in his final NFL game;  

the drop kick was his last play in the NFL.

         *.    

On October 24, 2020, Iowa State University backup punter Corey Dunn attempted a surprise on-side drop kick off against Oklahoma State University.  

It was nearly successful as the Cowboys failed to cleanly field the kick, but Oklahoma State recovered the ball in the ensuing scrum.
