This is a really good site. National Alliance to End Homelessness It talks about the issues clearly. Pay particular attention to the Ten Year Plan document. We have an interesting time in front of us. With our economy moving more and more away from manufacturing, our society will have to retool to make our economy strong again. In the by-product of this change, people will suffer. It is up to those who can make these transitions easily to help those who can't. As a nation we need to be aware that things aren't as they used to be, nor will they ever be. We are evolving as a nation, and as in any evolution there will be growth pains. Let's not charge forward without a plan for those who are unable to move easily.
FYI - Hennepin county is working on a ten year plan right now. Check out this site if you want more information. I believe this also is a state-wide initiative. I had my doubts when I first read about it, but have more faith in the approach now.

Nothing to say, maybe you are slowing down but do not realize it. It's not a bad thing to slow down and watch the grass grow. Based on the latest post of the Magpie I think you may be getting there!
We'll see. Life can look different when you take the time to observe.
