Introduction/Definition/etc
In the Merrifield area
a Central mastered market
allows dogs
and somewhat tolerates me...
Body
Original Text
Around the radio tower,
closer to the old MultiPlex Cinema,
likely long gone, some other theatre replacing,
but Bethesda Row like
(same density increasing developer?)
and other gentrification,
not that far from Dunn Loring Metro,
unless handicapped, rolling and/or
walking may not be that bad,
YMMV...
Sunday morning market all year round,
producer only, with the oddity
of allowing dogs
and at least two vendors currently
catering to them,
bones on dog eye level,
kind of candy aisle
for four footed friends,
or gingerbread men shaped as dog bones
on our old home Xmas trees growing up,
bottom row, some shrinkage expected,
just hoping it would not take down
the whole tree,
decorative strings of popcornπΏ
other real candles,
plus a bucket of water,
and of course
parental supervision,
maybe Xmas Eve special
open one present
type moments,
the rest torturous...
Overall, the experience was similar,
some good, some bad,
like make him remember
why we don't like him,
so he will not return,
nor anyone like him,
cherry on top was a
nice terrier/poodle like dog π
and handler(s)
the vendor giving a treat
when squeaking my usual kid bike horn
helped the dog sit /Wag...
ππ©πΆπΎπ
at the entrance bonez
near BBQ corner,
Any vegan dogs?
No real response...
Having past the rack like barricade
used with someone else's bike,
I ask if allowed in,
get market master's photo
permission, a compounding problem,
in doing man, woman, child,
+ canines on the street candid
interview gestalt type stuff as
announcing, makes you (read me)
a target, beyond the usual give him
a sales talk, or prepared boring PR
which seemed to happen too often anyways...
The Twin Springs Fruit Farm vendors nearby
may have remembered me,
some nastiness later developed,
not the first time,
I was attacked there,
after MicroCenter some time back,
young alts to territorial like gang homeless,
maybe some security mixed in
for the outdoor mall...
A previous visit, I think I said
I would come back when I had more money,
which never really materialized,
but noting the trend(s)
on multiple visits, over time...
A sample size of random unprepared
first visit statistically invalid,
besides I was in a better mood back then,
experiencing my first published Street Sense
article over 10 years ago,
going to Alexandria city
after the local Sherwood Hall regional
library market
closed/shuttered for the season...
OdetoaFarmersMarket
The usual, high end yuppie stuff, I guess,
a dry cheese vendor, most I recall are wet,
maybe more displayed out in colder weather...
Further end, bagged roasted nuts, spiced,
probably too spicy hot or exotic for me,
Amish or Mennonite plain more my
traditional/ ancestral style...
While talking to the vendor,
probably too long,
as if a long winded
Irishman,
and perhaps an old mean? guy
reading into stuff,
or just plain nuts/deluded he stating/
accusing /thinking
I was talking about the vendor's hair,
Whatever, to bump me out of line,
We are in a hurry,
even on a lazy Sunday morning,
or more PC
"can I just get a few things,
and be on my way...?"
I seemed to have previously offended
a guy with two beagles,
who didn't want to be photographed and
the uploaded photos may have disappeared,
maybe too busy, tired and discouraged
to upload upon my return,
the easy ones smartphone,
the devices external memory
requires remembering, and effort,
Recovering from the cold,
and experience...
He was going to report it,
he had said, not sure what the issue really was,
mixed abusive fu messages,
Fist bump and professionally
patronizingly twisted sick
at the same time,
in a low key escalating we hate and
going to get you sort of way...
What he found offensive
from all i could really later surmise,
was beagles seem to be an autistic
dog, and he worked with autistics,
and trained dogs and
he seemed to want to argue,
and spout off his knowledge,
probably not knowing, nor caring
AutismLinks
Nothing I really wanted to do...
I guess he makes money off of both,
and is a parent, possibly of the little girl
running to and fro
I thought with some other woman,
I figured out later
The Don't Mourn For Us by Sinclair article
may be lost on him,
A quote that made me think
Add my Yellow links here...
TheYellowMan2017
TheYellowDogProject2017
And You meet one autistic,
You've net one autistic, they don't generalize...
Terminally unique in the dual diagnosis
Substance abuse worldz.
There seemed to have something on Tap
I guessed etoh,
but they said not,
how could I be so stupid the attitude from
millennials, so young...
I'm not their father,
I don't deserve their attitude...
Get an ABC license, I said,
I'd be surprised if they don't allow it,
Public noise and drunkenness
Neighboring Arlington County Board
just approved
WestOver Beer Garden extension,
with review, but shorted an hour,
ignoring multiple community complaints of
amped noise, etc...
Business rulez community screwed,
wonder how voting will go,
go figure...
Later wondering about
blue laws (Sunday before church drinking
after a long standing tradition,
even drunks know that,
besides save yourself for the football binges
Sunday and Mondays+++++...),
private property?
outdoor walking mall,
getting more cash flow read foot traffic,
but in the shade, cold,...
Thought my nut vendor conversation was
about roasting on site and
keeping her warm
during colder months,
I had started shivering badly
by the time I got to the shaded end,
past the corner and came back,
Still in summer shorts,
not bad while riding,
but don't stop,
like waiting for a bus,
instead of jogging,
riding the hypothermia line,
some call it,
a hypothetical band of warmth,
bordered by generating heat,
wind velocity, cooling effects
finding sweet spot stasis of comfort:
Too cold: speed up
too warm slow down?
But Do Not start sweating
as 6-20-30x heat transfer with evaporation
when wet,
I seem to remember from an Alaskan show
where frozen to death happens quickly,
all too often,
and fewer people around to help...
Knife and sharpening vendor had
a knife with a bicycle on it,
Made in France...
Talk of a co-op in Rockville
I'm guessing the hub,
That I've still not gone to, yet...
BikeBikeHosting2015 et. al
And on to other things
that had me in the area...
Modified Text
What's Missing?
lots, might have to go research
and find it...
What Can Be Found?
ways to spend money...
Bethesda Row
LuluLemon vectorz
staff blaming murderz on random attackers
when later found to be the staff...
What Can Not Be Found?
cheap eats,
non those people should go to McD's
instead of here...
NIMBY, in other words...
respect?
dignity?
caring?
How To Analyze?
Lenses
Host
Market Master
Land Owner
Seems like public streets
but could be a mall like private?
Gleaning happens as rent for some
in public spaces,
they do Manna and/or individual vendors,
somehow,
Master getting cold, one of three
but have a free Edible DC magazine
I'd gotten an issue before,
and they get enough press...
(Running an ad in it too,
from what I skimmed,
Wine guide issue, current, artsy,
And high brow, it seems to me...)
Homeless
Hungry?
Samples?
(I would have to pull out a scale,
and weigh stuff,
which is a hassle,
but also keeps down the
the random eating,
er grazing...
Munged2017
MungedMetaData2017
A let them eat cake/ French revolution
type environment
perhaps, using analogy,
checking demographics and my appearance
Somehow shopping is one of the status/
SES indicators, to social acceptance π
Assumptions
The food pantry warehouse on Prosperity Ave,
maybe more local than Manna
DCs food bank...
A red enclave, as business owners,
busy season,
and other anti me type stuff,
still thinking on it
now days later,
what is the reason for the hate I got?
I've met two beagles that didn't attack me,
But it's also near the shooting hospital
on Gallows, some limited off grounds outings stuff,
and that may explain some of the insanity i
probably projected upon me,
not the first time, now multiple times,
Including people telling my patterns,
really giving others targeting info
in a sort of hunters moon
hood V hand sign get him...
Time Limits
Year round
Hours change slightly,
later when colder,
and maybe more sun light
given DayLightSavings time starts
this weekend, sunlight melting frost,
snow, ice, allowing clearing streets,
etc...
No arts and crafts like some
markets in:
Alexandria
Reston
Etc

Maps
try finding the radio tower
and other landmarks digitally
Aerial maps would have it,
but then finding from other
indicators, clues, or just plain
GPS
use older maps,
trail map off
WODAppIdear2018
and
NorthByNorthEast2018
geolocating from other sightings
meandering the route,
and safety in random routes...
TrailMagic2017
really
TrailPredators2016
some
AlphabetGame2018
but hunters,
meat eaters,
and just plain mean,
killers...
Rabbit not listed, but some markets
do...
Peter,
Cotton Tale
and other story book kids type stories,
and the reality of pets as livestock/food,
RainDeerAndBambiForBreakfast2015
DearDeer2016
and other public lands used for grazing
private bellies,
etc...
but pollution of streams, and the quality
of the meat, besides sentimentality of the
pet quality of road kill, and other
kangaroo like stonings (sp?)
(see China zoo
and teachers killing raccoons in front of students
petitions...)

Targetting
Oh, yeah, mall includes one of those,
possibly as anchor store, but also
parking and other problems...
TargettedWowWeeAccessories2017
though not that one, another site,
MicroMinds
Possibly related to SuperMicro,
in their tactics?
MicroCenterMonopolyMoney2018
MicroSDAsOSExtender2017
BBCMicroBit2017
RPiTouchScreenDisplay2018
RPi3in2016
and many more along that vector
MemoryComplex2016
Easter Eggs like hunting for
References to previous problems,
smathered in with other pages names,
Lemonade stand along the trail time frame,
employee likely fired and followed to the market,
HeartBleed like sales
GoogleAIYVoiceKit2017
GoogleAIYVision2018
before moving the sales of V2 ones to
Target, less monopoly?
more outsourced and corporate,
wider net, i guess,
less skill in sales dronez
and other problems...
commissions and harassment,
etc...

Conclusion
Summary of experience or similar
Not everyone likes me,
some may be drinking nearby
and other hate inducing
hospital they check in, but don't check out
mentality,
I guess old school Gallows traditions die
hard...
They can not even seem to take Sundays off...

What makes you think you are not in Kansas anymore?
Can you click your heels and wish to go back home?
Only to find a lynching type environment
and that Virginia hasn't changed much in 10+ years
Read likely centuries...
