Funny Guy

You've probably seen him, or at least, someone just like him.
There's this guy who walks around the town where my husband works. He's always, always wearing a big, fur-lined parka and big heavy boots. Even when temperatures climb into the 90s and 100s. He's obviously homeless.
In the past, my husband and his co-workers have made fun of this guy for wearing the darn parka all the time.
One of MrDartt's co-workers also is really involved in his church and recently participated in an outreach project for local homeless people. The parka guy showed up. MrDartt's co-worker got to talking to him and at one point asked, "Doesn't that parka get hot?"
Parka guy explained that he was homeless by choice, and lost his son when his son was five years old. He has some reason to believe his son might come back. He said his son had last seen him wearing the parka, so he always wears it in case his son comes looking for him.
We've all made fun of people we deem "crazy" or whatever, but this sure puts things in perspective.
