The "homeless" are ALL given the opportunity for a better situation by the tireless worker, Kenneth Roman. The fact that they decline this offer should not be on my conscience. I try my best in Obs. The dear (previously drunken) Yvonne has now not had a drink for years - thanks to Kenneth. It was her birthday approx. a month ago - she asked for cool drink and chips which I happily gave. Troubles's dogs are well fed - and have shelter from the elements. For all those who want to care, take on a "project" and stop whining. Thank you for OBSID for what you do - even though I have the odd gripe.
