5. an artist that i had never met had the letters "o.b.a.m.a." on his fence

in a conservative neighborhood here, back in '08. he had had some really disturbing experiences that i heard about from local sources. i stopped and knocked on his door, and we had a great talk, and discovered we had many mutual friends.
he admired the things i was doing at the time, and surprised me a few days later with a gift of a small drawing of a white rose. we discussed what it meant, which i did know. (thanks to a former du'er)
it was probably one of the nicest things anybody ever said about me.
that little dwg hangs just inside my front door still.
