Welcome to Texas—(but only if you stay clean), and I have a feeling that you will.
BTW, I’ve lived in the Austin area for nearly 14 years, and these beggars have been there all this time-—some of them for years. I’ve gotten to where I recognize them.
I never give them any money, because I think it’s like giving alcohol to an alcoholic——giving them money does nothing to inspire them to clean up their acts.
Thanks for the response, and I’m still staying clean. There are only 3 things I’m still currently addicted to: nicotine,caffeine, and taco bell. And I can live with that. :)
