And she'd just dance down the street smiling in a really vacant manner. Even when she looked right at you she looked really vacant, like she didn't even see you.
I remember a bag lady from the 1980s too who was phobic of the suns rays and would bundle up in layers of clothes and wear welders goggles to protect herself from the sun ... seems to me she used to wear plactic bags on her hands and feet too.
It would be interesting to know their stories.
