      Startled motorists think be's outs when they bear security man Mark Carter sitting at a stoplight, singing and clicking his fingers, but most drive off with a smile. Mark, a 26-year-old native of Barbados, feels Metro people are much too glum and take life too seriously. You start singing, you feel better, he says.
