This city has an incredible number of homeless and insane people for it's size. I've never quite figured it out, since there really aren't any great programs here that would account for their population. What is interesting is that some develop a certain status, you know, they are the ones everyone knows, everyone has seen shuffling down the street mumbling to themselves, some have had odd run-ins with..

I can never figure out if they are homeless because they are mentally ill, or if they are mentally ill because they are homeless. I suppose it could be a mix of both.

There is one in particular that I see constantly. He is always "collecting money to get the bus home". You'd think after three years he'd have accumulated enough money for a lousy bus ticket. I'm guessing he's taking that ride in his mind nightly, after copious amounts of liquor.
