Had another exhausting run-in with my challenging street-preaching newspaper vendor.

This one was striking, though, because he was eagerly talking about a section I can usually reference to get folks to back off: Christ's cruel treatment of a herd of pigs, by accepting a demon's request to be thrown into them, driving them to suicide. Apparently some people are *delighted* by that anecdote. Huh! You learn something new about human cruelty every day.

(Got my weekend crossword, though! #Winning)
