Been there done that, and it's strange but it's been over 20 years for
me but I still look at my environment for such things. rEstaurant
dumpsters that remain open are sources of sustenance, an often empty
trash receptacle with a bag liner yields a ready poncho when the heavy
rains catch one. Unsecured buildings where one can get into a dry
place.
Where you are treated as any other pest. That's probably
the most traumatic part, the descent from human to pest so
quickly. The knowledge of where you really stand and what a
thin veil separates you from it never goes away.
My environment is always yielding such information to me because I
know what I'm looking for, and a quarter of a century later my brain
still catalogues these items for future reference.
Who knows, Richard, maybe we'll be the survivors when the
crunch comes. I've come to see that my most damaging
experiences usually have a side that's pure gift.
Hyper-vigilence has other interesting aspects.
