Have you ever been asked for money from a homeless person? When you gave them money, do you think they really bought food? I had a very out of ordinary meeting with a homeless man that was surreal. I was standing outside of Frontier on Central. Some friends and I were talking about travel and along comes this man who I thought was drunk, come up to me. Can you buy me a cup of coffee? He said as he stared at me with a shimmer of need in his eye. He said that the staff of the Frontier kicked him out because of his appearance. I said of course and I asked if he was hungry and he said yes. I went inside and bought him a coffee and a burrito to go. I was blindsided by the fact that all he wanted was food. I mean I have had the homeless man come up and ask for some money for food, which I never believe. That fact that he wasn't trying to drink his pain away was enough for me.
