Sure it does. Most of those crazies get some kind if check from the
goberment.

Reminds me of when I was driving a cab. I picked this lady whos cab
fare was being paid for by some social service department of the
goberment. She told me how she had been in Porkland for just a few
weeks. She stayed in a homless shelter for a few days until a social
service put her up in a motel. It took a few weeks until they found
her an apartment. I carried some of her belongings up to her new
apartment for her.

Remember, I was working twelve hours a day, six days a week when I
saw her new digs. It was in a building from the turn of the century,
(1900's), that had been completly renovated. All the fixtures were
restored. The apartment wasn't big, but it clean, cute, was better
than I had.

Sometimes I get tired of pulling the wagon
