Day 10. The old farts loitering at McDonald’s in the morning have a pretty good sense of humor about things and still get enough exercise from dope-slapping each other. Topics include whether to mow the lawn before a storm, the practical application of goats and whether or not a non-union workforce can go on strike. I like these guys. I wish they’d call in. Just to say ‘hi.’

Backtalk: 7/23/2014

Support the workers.
I’m afraid to shop there now.
The board makes me sick.
-Billerica

Art-T gone is bad.
Dropping guys there 30 years?
That’s just fuckin’ lame.
-Dracut

Bring back ATD.
He’s a man of the people.
Hoping for the best.
-Lowell

Screw corporate greed.
Workers deal with tons of shit.
You carry a purse.
-Lowell

Art-T’s a good guy.
Done a lot for this city.
We’re standing by him.
