So, I'm walking back to the RV park, after turning over my p.o. box keys in prep for pulling out in the morning.  Railroad tracks separate my park and a Safeway from a frontage road.  On the other side of the tracks was a young homeless guy.  Usually they're pushing carts or maybe have a backpack unless they live around here.  This guy looked to be in his twenties, just that sh**-out-of-luck age in the America that Donald will make great again.  So, he was loaded down, carrying some cardboard, the only reason for which I have to figure was to make a bed. 

 
He was also leading a dog.  A little weenie dog mix with short legs.  The dog all of a sudden stopped and laid down.  Not sick looking, just probably wondering where they were going, and probably tired.  The guy tugged gently on the leash once or twice, then just reached down, picked the dog up, and walked on. 
 
I wish that guy was running for president.  Wish that guy had the power.  Like Cricket and others have brought up, this country deserves what it gets.  I listened to Bill Clinton expressing the fact that he was just a regular guy the other night.  He talked about how tough it had been for him and Hillary to come up with the money to pay the taxes on their "houses" when he first took office.  How many "houses" does a person need?
 
Anyway, that guy picking up his dog was one of the better things I've seen lately.
