Got any in your town? We got some and if you spend enough time downtown you know their names too. Theres...

Crazy Jim - Rumored Vietnam vet who sits outside the Tobacco Bowl and mutters to himself.
Dollah Bill - Guy in a orange and green coat and a backpack who walks around all the time and turns up in random places.
Titanic extra - There's a hobo who claims that he was an extra in Titanic and they screwed him over.
Valentine - Sits in various places in the ped mall with a cardboard sign. 
??? - Scary dude who wears a wrestling singlet and seems to store things in it. He also wraps pantyhose around his head and walks around with a dazed expression.

Anyway, I always try to lend some change. I've had a few discussions with some of the hobos and some are actually pretty intelligent. I recommend striking up a conversation with one of the sometime. They have many experiences and lots to say.

We got tons

Some notable ones:

Scary Sherry - A guy (...or girl? I have no idea) who rides a bike around and thinks it's a cop. It constantly tries to scream at people and stuff.
The cat man? - Some guy with a beard who walks around the streets with a cat on his shoulder.
Man who wants quarters - A guy who always asks people for quarters

I can only think of one person. I only strongly suspect he's homeless, as he's very often at the bowling alley and is... not in his right mind. He'll be talking to you about who-knows-what as if carrying on a full conversation with a good friend, and you might not even know it because he might do it when your back is turned. He doesn't seem to be a bad man in any way--he's kind of like the bowling alley's resident grandpa. If he ever catches me in a "conversation" and I notice, I just smile and nod, even though I don't think it makes much a difference. I don't know how, but he gets by (maybe he gets free burgers from the snack bar--if so, he's pretty lucky for a homeless person).

When I went to church on Sunday, my Pastor spoke about a homeless woman in our town. I can't exactly remember her name, but she's been without a home for quite a while. She said it was our duty to help her out in anyway possible. Our town is pretty small, so I didn't really expect any homeless people, but I was wrong. I feel bad for her.

I had a homeless encounter today. I walked out of a gas station holding two bottles of Diet Pepsi. A homeless man on the sidewalk stops me as I start to leave.

"Hey! Can I have one of your smokes?"

...I should have given him one. If he could light the thing, he deserved it.
No! I don't want that!

I've seen plenty of homeless people, but none of them are near where I live. Most of them I see either going to and from school or in the newspaper.

I don't understand why so many people are homeless. Why don't they just get off their butts and get a job?

Living in the hick town that I do, I don't think there are any homeless people.

It's hard to get a job with no residence or driver's license or place to shower.
