I'm getting to know some of these folks and becoming recognized as  
one of the regulars (outcast air?). I'm surprised at how many  
strangers ask to have their photos taken. I often ask permission to  
shoot with an upheld camera and arched eyebrows. Most answers are  
affirmative.

I take prints to those who are easily found. George the Greek, (hot  
dog man) even gave me a sausage dog the other day after I carried him  
photos..

Like other places I've lived (this being the largest), I'm really  
learning to make this town (population about 360,000 and a state  
capital) a home.

What's the idiom? There is a certain "outcast" air to some recurring  
characters.

May be.
