Sometimes I hear them playing an instrument--mostly guitars, but a few trumpets (though I have never seen the saxophone!). When I first moved to the cities, I tried to avoid them. After a while, I came to realize that most of them are folks just like me, who have come upon some unfortunate cirucumstances. Many people choose to look the other way, pretending they don't see these people. I don't know what to do about this--it seems I am more adept at helping homeless animals than I am homeless people--but it saddens me. <br /><br />What a great experience you had.Nic Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08743199961288979699noreply@blogger.com
