Today was my first day in a new city. I was quickly reminded of one thing that large cities can offer that most other places cannot -- an army of shit balls crazy, in-your-face, homeless people. For some reason these individuals are attracted to me, or maybe its vice versa. I've encountered many different types of bums and for the most part they are friendly, especially if you offer to share your White Castles. (*note: this isn't always true, once a guy approached 3 of my buddies and myself and declared "I'm gonnnnnnaaaaaaaaa killlllllll you guysss." We have yet to see him again, but he haunts my dreams.)
Anyways, my experience today with the city's homeless ambassador was enjoyable. Just when I began thinking how weird it is for thousands of people to be so physically close to each and give absolutely no acknowledgement to each other, a bum yelled at me "Good morning gentleman! Have a great day!" The Wabash Wanderer (as I learned he's named) expressed kindness that most in the city don't show and made my first day in the city much more enjoyable. I hope to share a bag of White Castle's with the Wabash Wanderer soon.
