1. I really want to get a picture of this, but I’m afraid to brandish my cellphone in downtime for fear that someone will smash my window and take it from me. There is this guy who sleeps on the pavement right by the highway off ramp. Right there, every morning, looking like a bundle of rubbish, but it you look closely you’ll see human form under the blanket and cardboard.
He’s a meter away from a 3 lane off ramp. And on his other side is the concrete wall/pillar of the actual highway above. How does he get any sleep? Isn’t there anywhere softer on the body and quieter on the ear he could choose?
2. The block on which I park has security guards with dogs on the corners, to make sure folks make it from their parking garage to their office block without getting mugged. I feel for those dogs, because really, what kind of life is that for an animal. I wonder if it crushes their playful spirit. So I took some comfort seeing on doggie playing tug-o-war with his master over a plastic bottle yesterday morning. I’m glad that service dogs can still play a little.
