Yes, it's going to get really ugly tonight....and thanks for caring about the homeless guy.. ;D I hope he's not a vet too....that would suck...
You are a kind soul JR. Bless you.
I thought our power was going to go off this afternoon too. The UPS's under my desk when nuts a couple of times, but have settled down now.

I don't know if he is a vet Jon. I will ask. This is his 2nd winter out there. I have tried to help him most of the time he tells me he is ok and want let me help. When it is this cold I check on him every few hours. I would say he is in his late 60s.
Way to go JR. Thats awful nice of you

That suck JR. I hope your power is back on soon. And thanks for looking out for the homeless guy! It's nice to know there is still good people in this world.
Power came back on about 5 am. James would not come over and stay with us. Jon he is a Nam vet 67 - 68. USMC. He wont let me help him. Told him I have friends that will find him a home. He said just let it be he don't need my help. I don't wont to push him away. I will see that he has food and stays warm. Maybe when he starts to trust me I can get him some help. He don't talk much and he is a very hard man. I feel so bad that I did not find out he was a vet sooner. I have let him done. But he would not talk to me for a long time. I did not know his name till yesterday he would not talk to me.

That age, plus his issues is what tipped me off..he was 67-68 ....I was 66-67...hard times in 'Nam' during those years, even the battle at Hue....and coming back home and not being treated very well just added to a soldiers burden..when you see him next.....tell him "Welcome Home" for me.....he'll understand....bless you Dennis.........
