Walking through the dark and fog, this morning I ran into Rosie, in the French Market courtyard. We talked about Christmas, her hat collection, the weather. She told me her boyfriend gave her an iPhone for Christmas and she would take my picture if she knew how to use it. I told her we could take her picture if she wanted. She said, "Sure, but I have to hurry or John will be around." (Rosie collects the small cans from the big cans in the early hours. John, another pal, is her competition for the cans: whoever gets there first gets the gold. The recycling business is intense, and it starts over every morning — especially in festival and holiday season.
We hurried. This is her picture.
Rosie, recycling, in a hurry
