the homeless guys

okay, so i now have this obsession with the "homeless" people who stand at the intersection by my store with their cardboard signs. 

i saw a new guy yesterday and he had 2 pieces of luggage with him, which makes perfect sense since he is homeless.......why don't the rest of the "homeless" people have luggage?  If they have somewhere to put their stuff, then they technically wouldn't be "homeless" would they?

today there was a guy in the median who was walking up and down with his sign.  I was thinking that this technique probably works better since most people are making a left hand turn and are forced to look at him while they are waiting for the light to change.

I always look at their clothing for some kind of indication that they don't have money to buy clothes, a home to wash them in, and their shoes should be worn out from having zero transportation. 

the signs are always written on brown cardboard with black marker, it must help to put something about god or being blessed, this seems to be a common denominator.  Stating something about being hungry must also be useful. 

i used to see a white truck dropping off an older guy, he really liked the northeast corner of the intersection and he usually had a mcdonalds bag on the ground next to him.......he probably should mark out the portion on his sign about being hungry
