When we were finishing up with photos, these two young guys in their early 20's saw the clock from the road and pulled into the parking lot right up beside us. One of them asked "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" Scott laughed and said, "It's a bad thing - it's not good because this debt keep going up."
"That's crazy! Look how fast that thing's moving," his friend said said. Then the other guy got out of the car, dressed in coveralls and big rubber boots - a fisherman perhaps - to get a closer look. Scott asked if he wanted to get his photo taken with it, and he agreed "but only if I can moon the clock," the said.
His friend tried to egg him on, but in the end, he decided not to bare his cheeks at the clock, although it would have probably made the front page of Taxpayer.com. As they pulled away, we overhead one of them say, "I'm definitely facebooking this!"
All of a sudden, another guy pulls up in his truck with his wife and asks "Are you guys part of the government?" A little startled, Kevin Lacey replied, "No, no, we're a non-profit and this is all paid for with private donations."
"Oh, good," the guy said, "because nobody hates the government more than me! What you guys are doing is great." He just drove off after that, leaving us a bit bewildered, but having a good chuckle too.
