Things Fall Apart
What would you do if your life suddenly fell apart? Right now, at least in Los Angeles where I live, one of the fastest growing segments of the homeless population is people who work, but don't make enough money to pay rent. Most of us accumulate a certain amount of stuff. If you suddenly found yourself living on the streets, which objects from your life would you try and save?
I recently took a walk along the L.A. River after one of our periodic "clean-ups" a nice way of saying a force out of a local homeless encampment. There, I found these two old football cards. I have to wonder if some guy who had spent years on his sports card collection, making sure he had every card from 1990, was he carting them around in a box? When the clean-up crews arrived, with only a few minutes to gather up the few remaining bits from his old life, did he drop Mike Tomczak and Pete Mandley?
