the same homeless guys.

they're tougher than both of us put together.

and most of them need residential mental health care.

and i know it isn't right to say, but most homeless people i've ever known would gladly appreciate the crack, smack, or booze over any food or clothing.

unless they are seriously mentally ill, they try to keep feeding addiction.

as far as shoes go: park in a major city overnight with some nice boots on the passenger seat or have UPS leave a package on your doorstep.

that's called "coming up" in the invisible world.

That is a very nice story. sabrina 1 Nov 2012 #1
