A Way to Make a Way

Last night our trail friend Old Man (aka CBob) posted this thread-worthy idea [IMO equivalent to his and Sturge’s effort years back for the trail to help out the earthquake victims in Haiti]. Power to you, OM.

There is a public meeting at 1 PM tomorrow where the city of Lubbock hears citizen input on how to spend $55 Million dollars in “Covid Relief Money” .
If I can fire up my engine, I plan to offer my input.
A Homeless relief. So I am going to speak  to the city tomorrow,  as a “Son of Lubbock” .
I am planning to wear my top hat and Lennon dark glasses .
I will not rant  but I plan to get print.  After my introduction,  I will ask for everyone in the room who has been homeless to raise their hand.  After I scan the room of no hands, I will raise mine. 
At that point, I got them by the short and curlies .
Then I make my pitch  about the homeless and how to help them: 
First they need a hot meal , then they need a hot shower , next they need clean clothes and a safe place to sleep.  
 
Then we can  catch them and save some. 
And I plug in this idea  into  a real wage to work via   garden,  a big garden,  as a way to  make a way.
We pay  kids  and  bums to tend it. We create a purpose. 
 A way to  make a way.

There is a way to make a way.  Nature  gave us all a thumb, and a brain .
And that is a very big deal.
