food pantry follies
came in an hour ago from church food pantry; # politically incorrect stories from that.
a 20ish? girl with a heiniken beer t-shirt on, and with 4 kids all seeming to be under 10 years old.
a lemonade stand right next to the food pantry, with a # of fat people in free food line drinking lemonade, for whatever price it was---a little kid from the stand even came rushing to me to ask to buy, as I bicycled away.
I maybe was the only one who always brought reusable bags with, cause the pantry has a sign about running low on the paper bags they use----but one of the volunteers gave me a hassle as I transferred the stuff from the paper bag to my bag, so i'll stop returning the paper bag; my admitted pettiness.
I also put down a small can of healthy mushrooms for a big tin of unhealthy cookies, when a volunteer put that on the counter.
made sure to go later today than last month, cause last month one of the local ex-drug dealers was in line ahead of me; not as though he changed his ways and is a new person who needs help, but more like would-be tough guy him is a 2 time convicted loser who doesn't want another couple years in the slammer, so he probably "only" gets high instead of dealing, so the food pantry for him.

Cookies over the canned mushrooms. Yeah why not. Lol.
There are sure some Interesting characters at this place.
You should write a screen play. Mom with a beer t shirt cracks me up. Fat people in a free food line offends me to the core. The fatties should all get together and plant a community garden to get some fresh air and exercise.
I love \"the sopranos\" tv show (which I got off the internet for a mere dollar a season, and shipping)----cause the gangsters seem like high class versions of people I know; even back in 1980s, when I was hanging around with the wrong crowd, I was thinking how a lot of local toughs were too stupid for the mafia;)
