Thanks for the link, Steve. Sadly the homelessness problem is not
limited to single men but to the public at large anymore. With the
mortgage fortclosure problems growing daily there are going to be even
more formerly middle-class folk in this situation. In the meantime
how much a day do we blow up in Iraq?

We have many families living at Starkey Wilderness park right now,
they have little cabins, which are less expensive then a motel, plus
they can cook there too on outdoor grills. I just feel sorry for the
kids.

I slept in my Van with my dog just for one night when I drove up to
NY, it was no picknick so I decided to drive straight through.

Love Lizzy

And I've got people in my house that throw a fit 'cause we can't "go
to disneyland".

"A former loan processor, the 67-year-old mother of three grown
children said she never thought she'd spend her golden years sleeping
in her car in a parking lot.

"
Past retirement age and never saved or planned, ans still insists on
living in one of the most expensive areas in the country. Three grown
children who will not take her in?

There's a lot missing here.

These stories only show up in election years.
