Some national organization recently named my own Eau Claire, Wisconsin, as the number one city in America for having the best Christmas cheer. So what happened? Several van loads of people came into town and passed themselves off as homeless. They positioned themselves in strategic places around town and held up cardboard signs asking for money. Police investigated them and discovered they all had homes and several of them admitted they made as much as $200 tax free per day in Eau Claire. They came to Eau Claire because we are known for our generosity and because panhandling is not illegal in Eau Claire. I wonder if any of them had every made a gobblywobbler, talked fish talk, or could get a free gumball by saying " Tuscarora." Guess I should have been out patrolling and handing out tickets for loitering and for being a vag.
