NOT AS PRETTY

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.

One response to “NOT AS PRETTY”

  1. Thank for this, Paul. It is easy for us to use “travel blogs” to highlight only the “highs” while ignoring the “lows” of the places we visit. One of the many things I appreciate about you is your honesty and your willingness to present many siides of your travel experiences without judgment. Your pictures and words remind us that any earthly “paradise” has its imperfections. They also remind us how blessed we are to have a roof over our head, a comfortable bed to sleep in, and no food insecurity… blessings we often take for granted. But not today.
