Lake Champlain Remains On Land

Perkin's Pier from the Peninsula

The Lake overflows, ebbs, and overflows, again. We may be prevented from doing what we do due to the high water level. But we cannot blame the Lake. Hey, most of the world doesn’t have water to drink up, wash in, or play on. Lake Champlain does what it does without asking our permission and without regard to our needs. It demands our respect and our stewardship. While we cannot tell it what to do, we can make it sick and unhealthy. Too often, we take the Lake’s power and beauty for granted. Very sad.

Returning To Church Street

Back To Business

Caveman reappeared, svelte and strong. Wants to collaborate to produce a mixed media doc about the denizens of Church Street.

You Want Music?

Paul’s got a gutitar, but no case. No tunes, just strums.

Almost Left
Justin Time

He lasted from November 12 to May 12. Girlfriend wanted him to stop drinking. Couch crashing. No plan, so he sits and begs, again.

Rough Start

Oft told story. Did some stupid shit. Got sucked up by the system. Couldn’t pay court costs. Back to jail. Vicious circle. Smart and aware, but not formed.

Sunnier Side of the Street

Why did she move to the other side of the street? Better weather? Better donations? “I just needed a change,” she said.

Catching His Breath

Has just the requisite amount of energy for the day, everyday.

All A's
All A's

Happens fast. Wife has an accident. Kid overdoses. Sucks the wind from the sails. Not giving up, though.

 

Street Signs

Rainy and windy and cool. Weather only fit for those who do street.

Paul’s on the street again. Worked. Hadn’t been paid at painting job. Lost his room at Oxford House. Slept on the street last night.

Still trying to get home to Texas.

Who is Debbie?

Somebody stole Mark’s bike at the shelter. He bought another one.

Penguin’s trying to get her kid back. Went to school. They wouldn’t give her the kid’s records.
