Who are those people?

Who are those people that I see every morning on the way to work? You know, the ones sitting by the river, feeding the birds, running, exercising, biking, walking. Not looking like they have any place in particular to go. Why aren't they rushing to work? They can't all be in school... Are they beneficiaries of some mad ponzi scheme? Are they independently wealthy and don't need to work? Trust fund babies? Vacationers? All night shift people? Sometimes, I think that they may not be people at all but just "background" filler put there to give me something to think about. I am afraid that if I walk up to one of these people and ask them what it is that they do for a living they will either fade away like ghosts or will tell me some earth shattering secret about prosperity that will make me mad because I found out about it so late.

Bulls on parade.
