Be sure to clean up a bit and invest in a big Sharpie to make a concise sign. People are more likely to give to someone looking freshly homeless versus some AIDS riddled junkie. Look moderately hopeful.
I live in Portland and encounter dozens each day, hopefully there's less competition where you are. GL
Damn dude all these years I thought you lived in England LOL.
I was in Portland Monday night. Had my very first dram of Pappy 23 at an excellent local Whiskey bar and I'm happy to report it was delightful. Portland, like Seattle, is at it's heart is a wonderful city with a bad crime and homelessness problem.
I was going to go on my normal morning run through the downtown streets, but considering the riff raff I stayed back at the hotel and took the lovely and talented Mrs. Bagadonuts to Poundtown instead. Good decision IMO.
