Welcome Home

Hm. I walked to Mark's school today to bring him lunch, it was a lovely 75 degrees and as always very sunny. It seemed like a perfect day for walking. Unfortunately on my way I came upon a man who was slightly wobbly. I was reminded of a day several months ago when I jogged past a stumbling, mumbling drunk who thankfully was being persistently tailed by a cop car. There was no officer rolling behind this guy, and as I neared him I couldn't help but notice his pants were stained and he definitely did not smell like alcohol. I smiled as I past him and tried not to look at what was running down his legs. GEE. What do you do in a situation like that? Ask if he needs anything? Run away quickly? In my struggle to decide, I did nothing. I somehow feel like I let the poor guy down, but how does one prepare for a situation like that? California is an odd place. I'm sure things like that happen in Logan from time to time, but I never saw it.
