Today I spent quite a bit of time watching a documentary about homeless women who are living in their cars. It’s far more common than one would think. 
Quite a few of them are employed. It was an eye-opener. I already knew that the fastest-growing demographic of the homeless are older women. There is a real problem with homelessness in this country (as in other places, also, but I’m more concerned about the United States.) There is a huge underserved market in real estate. If I did not have this apartment, there is no way I could live in this town. A one bedroom apartment in one of the newer buildings downtown starts at over $3ooo. per month. All of the new houses being built here have 5 bedrooms. There’s a real need for more modest housing and it’s just not out there.
Then I came across the weather stories from yesterday.
I was floored. There was nothing here but some rain and some distant thunder. When I saw the news story about the tornado and the piles of hail (so much that it looked like snow) I couldn’t believe it.
We escaped again.
The second clip about the weather–you just have to hit the Watch on YouTube icon and it will come up.
Gray and rainy today and it’s going to get very cold.
Have a good night, all.
See you tomorrow.
God bless everybody.
