Loyalty Is Helping your Homeless Disabled Buddy

move his things from storage locker to nicer storage locker with a post-Covid-year beatdown, pre-menopausal (?) 52-year-old body.  Pay someone to help with this, I told him. He did a lot himself, but it's the last day of the month, and the dregs remain...

Imma get him to drop me on the river if things get heated, though. So there's that. You can paddle longer with a partner to pick you up at the end, without having to drive over and drop a car first.

-------------------

ADDED:  He's not really homeless. He's got that teardrop camper, paid off now too, not even the bank's. Best views in the parks and -grounds.  Everything's essential when you live like that, and you live with the weather more fully too.  Likely, it is taking years off his life, but they started moving the "qualifying" elderly (with money) into his 55+ Disabled federal housing unit during the pandemic lockdown years, and so many new men in the old place clashed.  He really didn't get a fair shake, but in the end, it was a blessing to be away from hateful neighbors.  Voting with your feet, and wheels and all...

Keep all the vulnerable families in your prayers this Memorial Day, especially if you are isolated and can't see them anymore, by circumstance or choice.

Be safe, and keep it sane on the roadways out there, if you're a party person, eh? No flinging bottles already... Safe Sane Sober. #MemorialDay21
