• oh Bums

  I realized something the other day when I was walking from work to the bus stop. I relized that I am getting ask the same questions, being told the same stories and seeing the same homeless people in the same spots every day. Seattle has two things: some of the best homeless shelters and missions in the nation so go in fact that homeless come to Seattle just for the services; and no panhandling law. What is funny to me though is how one guy always says "I'm not asking for money i just want food"and another one says "my car got towed i just need $30 I can repay you later" yet i have heard the same stories day after day. That is what gets to me… I had a good convo with some friends about hope today and I think these people just have hope that someone else will provide for them. I am also sure a lot aren’t even homeless. This is what makes it hard for me to "do the right thing."

  Just what is on my mind.
