As the church bells rang in the noon hour, it was time for
the ritual to begin. A man reached into
his giant goodie bag and yanked out an oversized knife and a bright yellow
rubber chicken. By his side, a younger
woman pulled out an old lighter from her jacket and a bundle of sage. Had anyone happened to walk by they might
have thought something nefarious was going on.
However, the actions of the two individuals were far from perfidious.
So who are these two shady characters and what were they
doing standing outside of Nationals Park on Thursday afternoon?
