The homeless and basketball


A homeless person wandered through our residential neighborhood yesterday.  He got to the end of our street, a cul-de-sac, sat down on a rock in my neighbor’s front yard for a while, basking in the sun.  He already looked pretty tan.  Well, it could have been grime, there aren’t a lot of places the homeless can take showers here in Albuquerque.  In any case he sat there in the sun.  I glanced over at him every once in a while as I worked in my front yard.  I was tempted to walk over and ask him how he felt about NBA players complaining they’re only getting two million dollars a year on average.  But I never got around to it.  Eventually he wandered off, and now I’ll never know.
