June 29, 2011

The song of the day today is "What Sin Replaces Love" by Ryan Adams & The Cardinals.  Fast forward to the 0:30 mark to skip the frankensteinian Henry Rollins.




I arrived at Tent City last night around 7:00 to find about twenty-five residents gathered around the Administration Building.  It is rare to find many of the residents in the same spot at one time.  Usually at any given time, the greatest number of them found together is around eight with others scattered around town or in their tents.  Most residents get government assistance of some sort with checks normally arriving on the third day of each month.  By the end of the month, though, the money has dried up for most leaving them with nothing to do but hang out here.
