leftovers

As most of you already know I am now a patron of the CCTA, now that my car is no longer in service. Not a day goes by on public transit without some sort of randomness. Today on my way to work I overheard two homeless men talking about how other homeless people have destroyed some of there all time favorite places to crash at. I would normally turn my head and focus on something else, but I have my iPod and my phone was buried to deep in my man sack. They were talking about the places they have been squatting over the past few years and how they have all gone to hell and over populated causing the city to shut all of their favorite areas down. Apparently homelessness is higher than I thought in BTV. This scares me and makes me wonder where they were from and what happened to them that made them who they were today?

I waited almost 15 minutes longer than usual for the bus today. As I was quite perturbed after waiting so long in this almost cold enough to drink from a "TO-GO" cup filed with some Delicious red wine, while waiting for the bus weather. I am always a little nervous waiting for the bus, because it brings back memories of high school and makes me want to walk back home and call out sick. As I get on the bus I noticed two homeless men in the front of the bus and, in the back nothing but street trash, as so many older folks like to call them. So I decide to sit in the front of the bus. In my line of work, I am more likely to become homeless than street trash (druggies) so I know where I belonged. As we approached Price Chopper the homeless man in the Electric Scooter (how did he get one of those?) gets off. This had to take about 6 to 7 minutes, I now understand why the bus took so long earlier and almost made me call out of work.

Is it OK to bring my left over slowcooker meals on the bus to give to homeless people or should I just throw them out? We all know if I bring them to work then people will just judge me on my cooking, but homeless people, i would hope not?
