That's no lady... that's a Wino

[CoolBreeze]

I've always had a fascination with Winos. That's what we called em in my day. Now... they are called something more sympathetic: Homeless. I still call em Winos (and maybe Crackheads) They add "color" to the streets of almost any city. But like pigeons... too many can foul a city, especially a small town like ours.

I think we have more than our fair share of Winos/Crackheads now. Charleston has about 6 homeless shelters with more on the way. (Build em and they will come). Now... I cant sit in front of Taylor books without being hit-up for money. But yesterday something happened that I never would have believed: A Wino gave ME money as I was sitting in front of Taylor Books! Hahaha! No! It's true! The greasy dollar bill was dropped in my lap like a dead rat. The Wino mumbled something about photos and walked away. I called out to him to get his money, because I certainly didn't need it (nor did I want to touch it) He did.

Anyway... the guy I'm talking about is pretty well known in Charleston now. Probably second only to Aqualung. He puts-on a fine show almost every day downtown. He's quite a sight, and you can see his fashion sense here: http://www.mywvhome.com/
