Am I going to hell for laughing?

You be the judge.

Crack time.

I gave him $2, which apparently buys a little crack. Video from my MinoHD.

Casualties from this weekend’s winter storm, there appears to be a crackhead living in my junkyard.

Every time it snows I basically wait for the calls to let me know one of the fleet cars has been crashed into something in a spectacular fashion. Last weekend was no different.

Our first victim, previously a Pontiac Grand Prix was rear ended by a school bus, which knocked it into another school bus. Kinda cool.

The other one was a Hyundai Elantra that someone drove into a pole at what appears to be a decent speed.

Goodnight sweet princes.

While I was back there to check out the damage to the cars, I noticed something kinda odd, so I shot a quick vid.

Yep. It would appear as if someone, presumably a crackhead, decide to camp in my junkyard, going so far as to build a fire for warmth. Awesome.

Meet Willy Lee

He’s one of the crackheads that can always be found somewhere in the general downtown Memphis area. He has a limp that gets worse if a group of tourists are around.

He’s actually pretty cool for a crackhead, and will do stuff like clean up tourist puke in bathrooms for a couple of bucks, as he was employed to do when this pic was taken.

(Willy is in the NY hat on the right, I have no idea who the guy in the back is, but he apparently wanted to be in the picture too.)

I have some fun Willy stories on my other site. I’m going to interview him next time I see him, assuming he hasn’t spent his rent money on crack and died of exposure yet.
