Do you feel somewhat ‘devalued’ that no one is asking you to make a barber appointment?
By the way, I too live in California. (in Marin: Nancy’s Back Alley) Trust me, we have mucho packs of Homeless liberally sprinkled throughout the state.
I saw a 12foot Tee Pee in downtown San Rafael the other day. It was surrounded by pup tents, dirty quilts and broken bikes. None of this ‘debris’ was here even one year ago.
My son and I ate at our favorite Thai hole-in-the-wall restaurant in San Rafael a couple weeks ago (Bay Thai Cuisine, 809 Fourth St.) We sat at a table on the sidewalk and there were mostly normal people strolling by, but we had a couple way out there freaks go by. One woman was doped out of her mind and gyrating and screwing herself into contortions. I don’t know how she managed to keep standing.
