Subject: RE: BS: Words of, like, wisdom, eh???
Used to be, back in the good old days in Frisco, in the morning I'd roll out of the Alkain Hotel right there on Mission St, just on the edge of the Grapevine District, and walk a few blocks to the day old bread store. On the way I'd say hi and no I don't have any spare change to the winos. Back then you could get a half dozen day old chocolate covered donuts and a cup of coffee for a dollar. Hell, that would last me about all day if I didn't move around too much and avoided the street people on the way back. If I felt ambitious, I could always panhandle a few coppers and use them to buy a can of Raviolis for a real ritzy meal. Just use the can opener at the mini mart and pay for it already opened, eat it with a plastic spoon I procured the day before from McDonald's. Frisco on a dollar a day. Ah, to be young again....
