I agree.  That's a very powerful image.

When you see someone homeless in a Toronto winter, you can be pretty sure that it's not because they thought it would be fun. One aspect of living in Santa Cruz is the number of homeless who are just kids camping out because it's more fun to smoke dope and camp in the woods than it is to go to school, get a job whatever. Something that I didn't truly appreciate until my ex-wife moved a tribe of homeless kids into my house while we were separated.

Cleaning up after I got them out of the house was an interesting chapter in my life. As far as I can tell, it was one of them, or one of their friends that broke in and stole the Pentax gear that I got from my father. I still miss the Series 1 70-210, though as much as I miss the fire agate ring made by my father that was my college graduation present.
