Caboosing along & being a Harmless Person...
I post something, people answer, I get back on the train of thought in time to be the caboose!!!
I think the black lady and her dog and the woman in white are two different people we haven't seen in a long time.
The last time I saw a black male in a wheelchair, minus legs, was in front of the Broadway Market at Eastertime. Back when there was a KMart across the street. Even a Metro bus driver got into that bit of fun. We actually had a good conversation with the man while his buddy waited a distance away, but we didn't leave a donation!
There also is a different black male in a wheelchair downtown who approached us once. We didn't give him anything. A little later we saw him eating something in a fast food bag that he scrounged out of a trash can! We felt bad! We never saw him again.
Has anyone here ever seen or met "Wanda"? We still see her sometimes. She is a Harmless Person. Years ago, she had kids believing she was a truant officer.
As far as giving out money, we don't do that; not cash. We have mottos: Charity Begins at Home & We Gave at the (Tax) Office.
We once asked a person begging if he wanted to join us at a restaurant since he said he was hungry and we were on our way to eat. He declined & just walked away. He wasn't dressed any worse than we were in T-shirts and jeans. Guess his motto was Cash Only.
