I saw 1 guy sitting outside jack in the box openly holding a meth pipe, and i saw another guy maybe on national take a hit off a meth pipe and immediately burst into an enraged paranoid monologue [not entirely dissimilar to the inner monologues that occasionally occur in my own head].
The open drug use is concerning. We are getting old. I cant be attacked, break a hip, etc.
On the other hand, the homeless seemed pretty chill. No aggressive, or really any, panhandling.
In some instances, its difficult to tell whos homeless . We saw a reasonably dressed woman, young, eating a pie while squatting down against a building. We had a hard time figuring out.
Homeless or not?
Her purse looked too nice. But why is she eating a whole pie outdoors. Against a wall? Grubby clothes, but i was dressed worse. Not always clear.
