Tank

Tank has lived on the streets for the last three years.  "People think I'm a tough guy," he said, "but I'm just a big guy who loves my dog and my friends."  Tank was very friendly with me and told me that he'd love a copy of the  photo some day.  I hope to get that photo to you soon, Tank.  
Another neighbor that has fallen on hard times.  Regardless of what we think, the solutions are never as simple as "get a job" or "pull yourself up by your bootstraps."  If you don't believe me, I encourage you to read the new book, "Tightrope" by Yamhill County, Ore. native Nicholas Kristof and his wife Sheryl WuDunn,  It just might change your perspective.
