I really am a cripple, you know.

^Thanks. Given my long history of homelessness, as well as traveling around the country by car, bus, train and feet, it's always behooved me to research the various cities and towns I've come across.

It really does bother me that, from coast to coast, there are so many homeless individuals in the street and elsewhere who are not aware of available resources, don't care about them, or even have the mental wherewithal or fortitude to understand anything about them.

If there's one thing I've learned, it's this: social service programs don't go around scouting for the homeless in the street to help. Each individual has to do some legwork themselves.

^ Montreal has scouting crews for the homeless when temperatures are low enough. Really, really low. By that I mean, scouting crews who want to bring people to a place to live in warmth. Not the regular everyday crews who want to arrest them.

I didn’t mean to say that your research was moot. You know that, right???

..RR, I am more trying to air out what happened ~ AND, answer the idiots like Richard J. ! !! !! !! !! !!, say why I had to go - analysing it then talking about going back . REALLY!. Thank you for your info.
MY posting time is very limited ~ especially NOW/now ~ and I do get distracted - and I can't post as much, or as well, as I'd like.

@KK - Yes. Thanks for clearing that up.

@Claradoon - They also have similar cold weather scouting teams come around Seattle, too. Late at night they bring blankets, hand warmers and sandwiches. I think they know it might be a waste of time to go around during the day with government-aid paperwork for the homeless to fill up given that a lot of the street-folk have their time invested elsewhere - chasing the pipe, the needle, a dream, etc.

...I LOST A DRAFT!

More amazing sleuthing, RedRobin62.

^You might try typing everything in the notepad type program on your phone and then copy it over that way you cannot lose a draft.

I hope this helps.
Sincerely,

...I went up to Patterson intending to live there /" permanently "/immediate future. I thought.I'd read and listen to music and stuff. I thought I'd be reunited with the stuff I inherited from Bruh.
However, it soon became apparent that the bach thing was udoable! I had to get out soon, or. my money would have been sucked away! I had only Daniel to call on for transportation back, so I could alienate him . He was not very reliable on showing up, IIRC, and I was delayed in leaving the area longer than I thought that I'd be .

...With a more acceptable set-up and getting to things more - just as (I haven't read it in full now) RR found out and posted - Patterson could have been alright. I was rather retreating/ " being. a good boy-going along with what authority seems to want, rather " trying to do what others (seem to ) say I could do.
Maybe I should try something I have thought of, even if it " doesn't seem to be what someone ", perhaps here, would like .

doesn't really have anything to do with what people want or like. but rather what seems practical and beneficial. a lot of your choices seem impractical and harmful.

personally i plan to mostly stay in my room in whatever place i check into, and have stuff delivered. even pharmacies deliver.

i checked out patterson on google maps and street views a while back. it looked quite idillic. very clean. conveniently small but loaded with stores and amenities. seems like a place people would choose to retire to.

there were concerns expresed by some local regarding patterson's dry air and walnut trees aggravating copd, but a physician should be consulted about that.
