New Zealand Sabbatical

Lest you think we are in utopia, these pictures show there are homeless folks in our area. The politically correct term per the internet is “unhoused” or “unsheltered”. Honolulu has more problems but our town of 40,000 is affected as well. At least the risk of hypothermia is low. One of my female patients is such an example but she claims it is her preference to have lived this way the past 23 years. Of course, she brought 4 large bags of her possessions in for our appointment and repeatedly talked about her need for exorcisms but I am not one to judge.

The 2 pictures above are locations within 2 blocks of our clinic. Tne next one is even closer but we don’t know the story on that vehicle’s demise.
