The Workin' Man

Danny is a very unique and interesting member of the Queen and Bathurst community, one of my favorite to observe as he goes about his business. With his construction attire, tool belt, and if you get closer look his impaired right eye make him impossible to miss.



Although generally in a great mood he is known to occasionally have what appear to be Schizophrenic fits consisting of yelling at nothing in particular throwing things around. On a good day he's some sort of one man clean up crew, often carrying a rake and a garbage bin around until it's filled to the brim with various waste he's collected around the neighborhood.



Danny is notorious for offering various items he's found to lucky passerby's which reminds me of by far my best experience with him yet. One afternoon he approached a friend and I saying he'd found something we might like as he pulled a stack of trading cards form his pocket, each one with a different horse on it, including their names and a bio. After gladly accepting his gift we thanked him and we parted ways.



On another note I also recently enjoyed watching him jam out on a guitar hero video game remote guitar, completely in his own imaginary happy place, without a doubt playing a sold out ACC. He never asks anyone for anything, takes pride in keeping his neighborhood clean and adds some much appreciated entertainment into the mix. All I half left to say is go, Danny!
