It seems that this morning is one where I awaken and have nothing to do, so I spend time at the book stores reading, reading, reading and sleeping. I am amazed at how many people go there for the social environment, yet there are a number of people there who are homeless.
I can see the homeless ones immediately and they see me. They are afraid of being found out, so they try and hide among the living who go there to socialize and drink coffee and be seen.
I know many of them, yet I don't know any of them. I am surprised at the knowledge some of these folks have,, especially since they just read and read and read all day long into the night, until they are kicked out.
I just want you readers to know,, not every homeless guy or gal is a bum,, some are quite well educated,, just down on their luck. Remember to never be mean to the homeless, you too can go there.

Hello, I just stumbled across this blog. It's scary how things like this can happen, isn't it? I have a master's degree and have held positions at large corporations, but I'm down on my luck. I'm essentially squatting in my own home at the moment, as I just wait day by day for the deputy to come and force me out. I have no family and nowhere to go, so I'm just hanging on. I keep getting into arguments with people online who make ignorant comments about how homeless people just need to get a job and quit asking for handouts. I'm in a situation where I CAN'T win unless I get some help. I grew up wealthy and never understood how people get into situations like this, but now I know all too well.
