Is there actually a difference between an East Berlin spy hunter and a Mission District little old lady?

Big yam -- if it is a sacrifice, not really sure I want to run into the bird it's keeping away.

My guess is that it was a spirit offering of some kind, Santeria or Candomble or Voudou or similar. A lot of times these spirits want offerings left at specific places – crossroads, banks, running water, etc. This may be a crossroads offering.

That’s why I think it was a dead drop or signal of some kind. Some operative checks that corner every morning, and if they see a pile of orange vegetable matter it means they have to assassinate [REDACTED].
