The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) VI

onzedge

We live in a small, old neighborhood in Sacramento called Woodlake. It was originally subdivided in 1918 and most of the houses were built in the 1930s and 1940s. Ours was built in 1938. Anyway...

There are not-so-good neighborhoods "across the tracks" (literally), especially around Del Paso Blvd. That road has many shops, boutiques and such and is in the process of being "revitalized", but there is still an interesting element who hang out there. Also, we are close to the American River where you can find homeless encampments. My dry cleaner is also on Del Paso.

Yesterday, after my Meguiar's Love Fest with my new Z, I went out to run a few errands and one of them was to my dry cleaners (I do not do my own shirts). I am loading my stuff in the back of the Z and I hear a woman's voice say "nice car". I turned and one of the street folks (a woman) who looked like she lived her life on the barter system (if you catch my meaning) was standing on the sidewalk. I said thanks and she asked "can I have a ride?"

I said no.

I would have responded in the same manner
