Last night was good times!!!

Last night we had one new volunteer and one volunteer returning from a short Hiatus.  We're still a fairly small group, but any growth is good for sure. There seemed to be a strangely low number of people hanging out last night, but the 5 of us were able to hand out 60 snack packs and meet some interesting peoples along the way.  Such as…

- The lady I handed a snack pack too in the park near Pike Market.  She was very thankful and stated multiple times "I'm looking for a place to cook my ribs".  Now, there is a chance that she did indeed have ribs in the small garbage sac she was clutching, so I told her "Don't go starting fires in the park young lady".

- The Spanger\Street-Musician, who, when asked if he was hungry and wanted some food responded with something to the effect of "Is it gourmet food?", then eventually "Like a Filet-O-Fish or something?"

- The not-at-all sober lady who stated that she "Would rather have a McDonald's gift card" then proceeded to meticulously pick through our snack packs to decide which she wanted the most.  She eventually chose mine after first telling me that mine was not very good. 

- The African American gentleman who stated loudly "I have a bad complexion because I don't flush it out with water, I only drink power aid and fruit juice!"

There are more great stories, and more great smiles. Ya'll really need to come experience it for yourself sometime.
