Today I went exploring on foot. We live just a few blocks from Empire Lakes. On the other side of the lakes is Southwestern Oregon Community College (SWOCC, pronounced: "swock"). It is a pretty little park with asphalt and dirt trails. I walked around the whole thing and even went to the Albertsons on Newark where I got a cup of coffee from Rachel, Shusli's daughter. It is a beautiful park and a nice campus.
I also met my first homeless folks in the area, four of them to be exact. One fella claimed to be Cherokee out of Oklahoma. He told me of another homeless Indian fella in the area named Danny and asked if I knew him. Civilization often leaves many folks out in the cold and exposed to the elements.
