Yes, I'm in San Diego.  Sounds like a different guy -- I'd put him
more in his forties.  Just figured maybe he had moved.

The latter message is more like his messages -- there was also one
about curiosity and cats with especially strange phrasing.  I wish I
had made note of some of the signs.  I suppose that unless he's moved
to Canada or done something to land him in the loony bin (though I
doubt it -- he doesn't seem to be a druggie or especially deranged --
he doesn't even panhandle as far as I can tell), he'll pop up on a
street corner around here again sometime -- I'll be more "religious"
about my note taking.
