But it still is a bit of a shock to see homeless people amidst the apparently prosperous and having-their-lives-together majority. These two guys were near my cafe table when I was having my Orangina break this afternoon. I really admired the one man's ingenuity in carrying his mattress on a collapsable luggage cart. He also had a small dog to entertain and protect him. It didn't appear that these two knew each other, but the guy with the shopping cart full of his possessions (with a shiny gold waterproof sheet to cover it all) ran into the McDonalds right there on the corner to get something for the other guy while he and his dog watched the shopping-cart-of-possessions. Hey, maybe they do have their lives together more than we know.
