Where I saw the homeless woman smoking

2006-03-29 09:30:29.776346+00:00

This is where I saw a homeless woman smoking one day. Not smoking a cigarette, but smoking, as in 'on fire.' Someone tried to pat her down to put the fire out, but she wouldn't have it. She was certainly schizophrenic. It was quite a sight, I must say.

One of the largest parks in Tokyo. Situated between Shibuya and Harajuku, two of the most well known Tokyo shopping districts. The famous Meiji-Jingu (Meiji Shrine) is located in the middle. -- On our first night in Japan as complete strangers, the cabbie dropped us off on the wrong side of the park. Walking through in complete darkness, trying to get through to Yoyogi Olympic Centre/Youth Hostel, we encountered several homeless, scary ravens, two men TAPDANCING, and many dead ends.

Heartside Community Garden

2006-10-12 17:57:06.284022+00:00

This is the Heartside Community Garden. I had the priviledge of tilling the soil in this garden one year. Thanks Richa. This was my first larger garden experience. I had a six by twenty foot space to work with and plant what I wish. I had to clear the spot and turn the sod as it had become overgrown. I planted watermelon, squash, purple pole beans on a crucifix I salvaged from the basement of the apartment I was living in, lemon cucumbers (yellow and roundish), and tomatoes. The plot went pretty wild that summer and the garden was eventually overrun by the transient community in the area, but we got a bumper crop of beans! I donated my harvest to the Hard Times Cafe, a local group of homeless folk who gathered to cook, eat, and dicuss their situation. I had one watermelon that made it and it was given as a birthday present to one of the chaps at the Cafe. All in all it was a good summer project and a lot of fun to boot!

Ohio: 27,867 estimated homeless any given night in 2001

2006-12-06 12:32:12.858378+00:00

from the website: "To determine the estimated point-in-time homeless population: As just reported, approximately 700,000 homeless people in this country on any given night are homeless. The country's total population for 2001 was 285 million. If you divide the estimated point-in-time homeless figure (700,000) by the total population (285 million), you can estimate that approximately .00245 percent of the country's total population experienced homelessness on any given night in 2001. If you apply that rationale to Ohio's total population (11, 374,541), you can estimate that 27,867 Ohioans experienced homelessness on any given night in 2001."
