What colour is your winter coat?

Do you give change to people asking for it on the street?

Occasionally if I think it's real but generally I donate to the food banks and soup kitchens. I used to volunteer delivering food to soup kitchens and that's where you see a real need to help out. Many there cannot function for themselves. Outside on the streets there are a lot of scammers. There's one slovenly guy here who stands in front of the bank maximum 2 hours as that's as long as he can leave his car before getting a ticket. He owns a condo and vacation property in Sechelt. I've seen him dressed up in the evening in a $500 leather coat, hair done up and packages from shopping under his arms.

If you could change your profession, be anything at all, what would you be and why?

Happy doin' what I'm doing. Only thing I'd change is I wish I'd started doing it sooner.
