The other day I pulled up to a light and noticed a scruffy looking guy at the far corner of a building on the opposite side of the intersection. He was clearly in a heated discussion with whoever was around the corner, because he was gesticulating angrily and waving his finger. A couple times he whirled to go, and almost left the conversation entirely, but he turned back with a final word or two as the light changed.
As my car rolled by, I was curious as to what type of person he was debating, but when the corner came into view, all I saw was a large window he was stading in front of. "Is he arguing with someone inside?" I wondered stupidly.
...Until I pulled level and realized that in the plate glass was a full length reflection of the guy, as he picked the argument with himself back up where it had left off.
I hope he and his friend have someplace warm to sleep, and something to eat.

that reminds me of the time when my friend nicole and I thought we'd do something supremely selfless at christmas time and bought a big bag full of hot mcdonald's fries and handed them out to homeless people. we learned a life lesson that day. some people don't want to be helped, and mcdonald's fries really aren't help enough for most people.
