A little south and mighty out of sight! Their camp is well hidden, from the casual viewer, off an industrial road sheltered by plenty of trees and impenetrable brush.The entrance to camp has become a mudslide offering visitors the opportunity to tumble their way down into the pools of collected rain surrounding the pallets that hold the tents up and out of the water.Should you venture into camp spend some time chatting with the residents. You might find someone of interest or someone who makes you slightly uneasy. Either way you will gain some insight into why that particular person is living in a tent in a major American city. If you come up with a way to balance all this and give these residents a shot in the majors please let those of us who have been trying to find an answer a heads-up. I for one have realized I just don’t have the brainpower to figure all this out. Maybe elementary education needs to be more robust, offering more people the confidence to balance some of the curve balls tossed...
