Thanks goodness! That's a positive outcome.
I told my boss at AutoZone that I'm not climbinh any more ladders for

Were you an inmate or a volunteer/helper? We have a fair amount of homeless here and are currently hassling through a project to build
a cluster of "tiny homes" which has generated big discussion recently
as the Springfield City Council tries to decide if it should provide financial backing for a resource center that would serve a planned east-side housing development for homeless veterans.
I was an inmate for the first time this year. Folks generally left me alone and i got my space. I slept better than i expected to and nobody stole anything from me. There were some very creepy characters passing through and it didn't feel safe. I can't imagine what it was like for
the single women who were camping there.
Probably the same as anywhere. Many men are living deep in the past when
wome were considered fragile, dependent creatures. FEH! Of couse, some
women use that as a trump card. I heard a female who worked in a factory whinging about some task that involved moving something and "Not one guy offered to help."
So I asked her "Do the guys look for help with that task?" She said no.
Then I asked "Do you get paid the same as those guys?" She said yes. To
which I replied "You need to do the job you are being paid for then."
NIMBY - big time.
That's for sure. And in some west coast communities NIMBY is
surprisingly well funded by real estate developers who can afford the
big guns (lawyers).
For the past 10 years I have bought U$100 woth of McDonald's gift cards which I pass out to the hard-core homeless at holiday time. Two years
ago I was returning home from an "Interfaith Breakfast" at Temple B'rith Sholom when I spotted a guy with a cardboard "HUNGRY HOMELESS" sign out
in front of a McDonalds. I had one last U$10 gift card which I gave him before realising that Xmas day was the only day in the year that Mickey D's was closed. So, I took him back to the Temple and bought his morning meal.
That's nice of you to pitch in during holiday times. The churches
around here cooperate to run a mobile soup kitchen, and IMHO they treat people with respect. From my perspective that's more important than
the food.
We've got a number of soup kitchens and outreach ministries. At my club
meetig (Vintage Iron Riders) we had a lady give a presentation on how her group(s) feed the homeless. I was amazed that the answer seems to be as
simple as peanut butter and jelly snadwiches in ZipLoc bags. Simple, easy
to make, very portable, etc.
So, next meeting we brought in donations. I kicked in a 10# bucket of
peanut butter. And I noticed a pile of grocery store sized jars of Jif
or Skippy and a big stack of sealable sandwich bags. And one of the guys
put the arm on a local restaurant supply for a donation of several cases
of peanut butter and some jelly.
