I saw something very interesting today while visiting my mother in her fourth floor apartment in Atlanta. When I took her laundry down the hall to the wash room, as I passed by a hallway window, I notice a man leaning into a dumpster at the rear of Targets. I stopped, and then I saw two kids and what appeared to be the guys wife, assisting him by placing the items he found in that dumpster that apparently he felt shouldn't have been thrown away into a shopping cart. I felt bad, but after closer examination I realized the woman had on a pair of $50.00 sneakers, and that's what made me stand there and just watch what they were doing. The kids were well dressed, clean, semi-new cloths, and after taking a good look at the man, he didn't look like a homeless person at all.
They shopped or picked, depending on your perspective, for about fifteen minutes, and then I saw the group roll that shopping cart over next to a semi-new SAAB automobile and put those items, some of them pretty big, into the trunk and load up and drive off. I tried to get a look at the county label on the tag but I was to far up.
Now I know, about a mile or two down the road, there will be fellow drivers that glance over at this well kept family, driving in there decent, not bad looking foreign automobile and say to them selves, they look like they have it together, they look happy.Then there will be the folks that will see them with uninvited anger, or even hate, yes these feeling run through a person about a complete stranger for no other reason other then they just like to hate different kinds of people.
One thing for sure, no matter what others think about them, they, the two adults, decided that they were going to stick together no matter what, who knows, maybe they have a second hand store somewhere out in the country and come to different locations like that and get there inventory.
