We've taken to running plastic shopping bags to them when we visit. We live in a free state and thus have a surfeit of them. I always wind up with the Smokey and the Bandit theme song stuck in my head.<br /><br />It's interesting to think about the relationship between homeless defecation and plastic bags. It's not a link I would've made on my own.

Every duty day, there'd be a large deuce on the front doormat, and the guy'd wipe his crack on the edge of the building there. The duty NCO got to clean it up, which made an annoying duty a disgusting one.<br /><br />The first and last time I had to deal with the mess, I had a chat with the unit XO, who'd come up through the ranks to warrant and then LDO. He and I armed ourselves with candy and visited the marine detachment, and managed to borrow a CS grenade. My XO unscrewed the top of the grenade and powdered the edge of the building with CS. The next morning, a deuce was waiting, but there was blood on the building, and it was the last time we had that problem. :)tweellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164718561825615886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-75892709876606664252017-10-19T10:18:49.529-07:002017-10-19T10:18:49.529-07:00Gray Man, it's to help those of us who work in...Gray Man, it's to help those of us who work in SF avoid the worst places. <br /><br />Not that it does much good. *Shudder*<br /><br />There are a lot of reasons that I don't eat in San Francisco any more.

There are agencies, and they will help you if you want help. I cannot emphasize this enough - if you see someone on the street begging who says they can't get help, they are either lying or not looking very hard. <br /><br />Diannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732034033885875331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-25313164389310836272017-10-19T00:12:13.770-07:002017-10-19T00:12:13.770-07:00The story:

There's no excuse to be dirty. You can keep yourself and your surroundings clean. Soap is cheap and water is free. You also need not shit and piss all over. In an urban area you can urinate in containers and defecate on paper or plastic, seal it up and dispose of it in a dumpster. In a more rural setting you can dig a simple latrine. It's not rocket science. The entire time I was homeless I was working 2 jobs and no one had a clue I was homeless and living in a tent. I was clean and the only odor I had was soap with a hint of wood smoke. I saved my money, got back on my feet and got a roof over my head and no one was the wiser. Most homeless are homeless by choice. They're druggies, crazy or just lazy bums. If you want to not be homeless, especially in an urban area, there are people falling over each other trying to help you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-41000802408200740852017-10-18T12:25:22.906-07:002017-10-18T12:25:22.906-07:00And hey, plague is back!

What possible benefit does it infer to them or society? Do they want society to come crashing down?
