Feeding the hungry.

Today is the Grand Floral Parade of the Rose Festival in Portland. The night before the parade, camping is allowed on city streets. Many of Portland's unhoused people have camped out along the parade route--both to call attention to the need for official space for unhoused people to sleep, eat, and live; and also to allow unhoused people to see the parade. An organization called Homeless Against Homelessness in America (HAHA) provides breakfast for anyone who wants it: cornbread, pineapple, strawberries, juice, coffee, cheese, and more.

In a rare change of rhythm, I had my blip for today in the bag before 8 a.m.
