I quit doing drugs about a month ago and moved to Texas to restart my life. It took me a week to find a job, and still I see these parasites on the side of the road flying signs asking for money. Its pathetic.

Welcome to Texas—(but only if you stay clean), and I have a feeling that you will.

BTW, I’ve lived in the Austin area for nearly 14 years, and these beggars have been there all this time-—some of them for years. I’ve gotten to where I recognize them.

I never give them any money, because I think it’s like giving alcohol to an alcoholic——giving them money does nothing to inspire them to clean up their acts.
