2nd Street Bums
I pulled up to the red light on the 2nd street bridge last night and a bum was there begging for money. It was nice out, windows were down, and I feel bad for those guys most of the time. I realize they are just going to buy smokes, or booze, or drugs with the money I give them, but I really don’t care. So this biker looking guy is out there, long hair, ZZ top beard, no shirt on…couldn’t have weighed more than 150 pounds…skinny as a rail…I mean 20 day meth binge skinny. So I hand him a couple bucks in change from the car and asked him how its going, where he’s from, what he’s doing up here, etc. Turns out he’s from Iowa and is up here finalizing a relationship…poor bastard! I asked him what his plans were and he said hes headed to California…”heard there’s good partying out there” he says. I laughed and said good luck man!
