The caulk gun I purchased was some cheap piece of crap that managed to get itself bent into an unusuable condition when I loaded the silicone canister and attempted to start to use it. I suppose it's just as well since I didn't have any of the trash cleaned out of the cracks and would have needed to do that first.

Let's try this.

Vinnie didn't take up a bag of old bread with him to the door as usual, not since he started waiting outside the back door these last few days. It has been four times in the last two weeks, but it felt like it was twice as often. He didn't want to so much as acknowledge the man sitting silently in wait. It depressed him, to see how he would sit there now; thin, pale, unkempt, twitchy. This is what has become of the child who everyone he knew treated with extraordinary kindness in light of his unstated condition. The only common thread from then to now were still the eyes, which were always to the ground, which were always away. The last few times Vinnie gave him some of the garbage, he leaned over the hunched figure as he noisly consumed the bread in ravenous mouthfuls. He looked at his face to see signs of anything - to see if there was suffering he couldn't speak, shame he couldn't hide, gratitude that he couldn't state. There was nothing of the sort on Wolf's face. His brain wouldn't have allowed anything like that to be conveyed, even if he did harbor those kinds of feelings. The lone thought which still remained was The Focus on The Search. Vinnie had no idea about any of this and was merely apprehensive to have him around. He didn't want feeding him to turn into a habit. This is why he stood still and released a deep sigh of exasperation when he slowly pushed the door open and peered around it to see Wolf sitting on the ground, leaning against the fence on the opposite side of the alley.
"Danny... you gotta listen to me some time, you gotta hear me. You're hungry, but I'm not your Dad. I'm not family. You can't rely on me to do this every time. What if you come here and I got nothing to throw away? Then what?"
Wolf responded by turning his head towards Vinnie and anchoring his palms to the ground so that he could bring his legs inward to stand. He walked across the alley without looking up and came to a stop at the base of the stoop upon which Vinnie stood. Vinnie winced and squinted his eyes in response to Wolf's pungent odor.
"Christ, kid, can't they wash you at the fucking church or something? Where do you fucking sleep? Outside?"
Wolf remained silent and motionless in the same spot. Vinnie rubbed his hands over his eyes and cheeks in exasperation.
"Shi.. fuggin sh... hold on, dammit."
He stepped back into the store and quickly retrieved a bag of expired Italian style loaves, then returned to the door. Wolf didn't move an inch, as if he were trying to emulate a statue. He held the bag of bread out to him.
"Here. This's gotta stop, Danny. You hear? This's gotta stop happening." He snatched the bag and pulled one loaf from it, then let the bag drop to his feet as he used both hands to compress the food into his salivating mouth.
"Jesus."

Among songs which I flushed for having placed recently were Smoke, Thanatos, Dawn The Next Endeavour, and You Were The One. I debated playing through Dawn for a bit but having played it twice just recently eventually convinced me to move on. Another big last measure death with Wow Wow 70s, though at least I can blame a bad Random on it this time.
