So the other day I'm walking down 2nd St near Market and I see the crazy shopping-cart lady, with all her random crap sprawled on the sidewalk around her. This is normal. What was NOT normal was the fact that she had a freakin' IPOD. What the hell is a homeless woman doing with an iPod? This raises all sorts of questions:
Where did she get the iPod?
How does she charge it?
Don't you need a computer to put songs on an iPod?
Can anyone explain this further? Perhaps. Maybe there's a perfectly logical reason that a woman who is so destitute that she lives on the street posesses a high-tech luxury item, which requires other high-tech luxury items to even function.
Or not.

Good point. The other day I saw a Nun listening to an ipod as well. I wanted to ask her what she was listening too, but I chickened out.
Though I can't explain the ipod, most homeless shelters and county mental health service centers have free access to computers during the day. And it's all about priorities....food, water, music.
