once back in the day when i was much thinner man i walked almost every day - i got ambitious one day decided to walk from my house to the college about 5 miles away - i started out fine and as I got closer to my turn around point i got very weak and felt like i was going to get sick (turned out to be low blood sugar - things you learn as you go thru life)...well in my desperation i asked God to help me find a dollar on the ground so i could get a coke or candy bar something to make the hooey's go away....i was approaching the bus stop where i had planned to stop and set for a minute before heading back - well there on the ground was a $20 bill - I said thank you God went across the street to the gas station and got a candy bar and a coke and gave the change to a lady with 4 kids driving an older car who was filling up her car.....God takes care us if we ask.

My suggestion is to help the working poor when you can, not the panhandlers.

For instance, cab drivers - give them a nice tip, not just a buck or two.

The single mom working as a waitress in a modest restaurant could sure use more than a typical 15% tip - give her 20 - 25% and make her day in addition to a little extra cash that she sorely needs.

These are the folks I try to reward.

In Boston I was heading to a sub shop with my sons. I saw a homeless guy who looked out of it, felt bad for him- being so well off by contrast- gave him a 5 dollar bill. We went on to the sub shop ordered and sat down to eat. A few minutes later the homeless guy comes in and orders a sub. I bought his dinner I guess.

Another time I saw a homeless guy in Cambridge sitting on a hot air vent by the subway entrance at Harvard Square. Beside him is his dog on a leash. Sitting on top of the dog is his cat. They looked cold, (December). They looked like a small family. I was proud that they stuck together.
It is a crazy world we are living in...and somewhere there are 28 hedgefund managers that made a billion dollars each last year, (only 200,000 dollars an hour!- In three hours they earn more than the president makes in a year.)
Things like this make me begin to hate. Angry
