Day Seven

I'm leaving the Seattle homeless for the last time, headed to the Greyhound station and on to Las Vegas.

I'm walking out and hear "Hey Lance". I look over my shoulder, "Hey Lance, thank you".

I tell seven foot tall black dude to take care. He says "you too".

"Yeah, I saw you pet my dog" he says shaking in anger "that's my service animal, don't touch him he's not here for fun". Well this dude is the least handicapped of anyone in the place except me. Poor dog, it lives without any affection, which it sorely needs. I wonder if this guy is homeles...
