7:00 Sunday night, outside the Cook Street Do-It Center, Mat #9 was accepted by a handsome bearded homeless man with his hall-dozen personable friends, including some street-saavy outdoor sleepers and a couple who pay rent, including a lovely native woman. I've given so many mats to men (7/9) that I was hoping to help a needy woman tonight. The nice thing is that most women I ask don't need a mat.
It is clear now that taking a picture is NOT cool. Tonight, when I asked if I could take a photo of him with the mat, he immediately pushed it back to me. Even though he slept on cardboard, the cop car a half-block away and a photo was a threat. Giving these mats must be without strings attached - not even a photo for the blog. Most importantly, I just want to keep track. Mat #9.
