[assasain]

holy crap, that is awesome.. you guys were nice to do something like that, respect+1

[Colin]

If you have a pic of him you should post it. MY brother will be driving from here to portland in the next week. If he sees him, maybe he can give him a lift for the majority of his trip.

that is really cool, to help a person out like that. doesnt happen too often anymore. not to get off topic here, but i bought a disabled and homeless Vietnam vet a bus ticket to get him home to Michigan just before x-mas, kinda makes you feel worth while doing little things like that.

[SmitEvo]

That is an inspiring story....I am glad I read that. What you did was a very good deed and I am glad there are people still out there that take time out of their day to help someone.

[bubba]

That's very nice of you guys to do, major props

I still would like to know how a homeless person comes across almost 2 and a half cases of beer. Did he carry it around with him?

There is a liquor store just down the street from Tintmasters...he probably went over there and got it.

So he's trying to get to Seattle but he's buying beer and giving it away? Wouldn't it be easier to just buy a bus/train ticket? I'm missing something here.

There were alot of homeless people in San Antonio....one of them asked me for some change So I gave him what I had in my pocket...about 80 or so cents. he was very grateful, it feels good to help somebody.

Sounds like he's just traveling for fun and isn't in a huge hurry to get there. Who knows!

[CivicEX7777777]

Awesome thing to do! Hopefully Michael makes the trip.

Give 'ol Hando a call and try to explain some of this to him.

Sorry, not too educated on bums :icon_scratch: I guess I just don't understand why he would buy $45-50 worth of beer when he could have walked to the Select Inn and got a warm hotel room to sleep in with a tv and clock radio to listen to.

Well after a bit of conversation, he had some lunch and we gave him a ride to the interstate. His name was Michael and he enjoys meeting new people and traveling with truckers. He is strong into God and said God is creating these journey's for him. Very polite gentleman with kids in Portland, and a few pets. He hasn't been home for 7 months and looks forward to seeing his family and friends...and pets again. !

I feel sorry for his kids. He's out dancing in the snow 2000 miles away while they're probably among the ridiculous number of homeless people in Portland.

I signed up on offtopic.com to read the thread.... man what a worthless forum. :icon_rr:

I made it through the first 3 or 4 pages and then quit wasting my time. The average age there must be 14.

and as worthless as it may be....still the 6th largest message forum on the web.

It would amaze you what the "power of OT"(although 90% can be absolute tools), can accomplish through donations. I think at one time yesterday, there were 160+ viewing our thread at one time. We heathens aren't all 100% bad.

In that case, it's the best forum I've ever read. Very interesting and I can't wait to read the next page.

LOL @ Dave.
