The crowd at 7th and Montana was agog this morning as "Sammy Sitar" -- the local loon who just two weeks ago seemed intent on impressing us all with his taste in Indian music -- changed his tune. He made the scene, as usual, pushing a baby carriage filled with garbage, but today -- before our very eyes -- he changed the tape in his boom box from his usual Sitar Symphony to a Mexican Mariachi number. "Whatever you do, don't make eye contact," muttered Neighbor Richard, but duty called. I whipped out my Spycam and pointed it in "Sammy's" direction. That was all the incentive he needed. He reached into a garbage bag, pulled out a slightly used enchilada and tried to auction it off to the highest bidder. Poor Sammy. If he really wanted to curry favor, he'd offer us all some Lamb Vindaloo ...!
