    There is just me and my ex. We both drove and at one time or another I have been propositioned in eye shot and ear shot of spouse during our time out there I would thank the hooker and wish her a good peaceful day and she better clear out right quick because wife for sure heard and or saw you. They are smart they know when to take off. Oh wait.... *Doh...

    Ran into the same moron for the second time out at the Clovis Loves asking for some hand-outs with a sob story. I was about to get nasty with him, but simply told him "no cash" and he promptly went away.
    Collect some cans, man!!!

    Panhandling pays way better than cans.

    Besides, he'd be denying you the chance to be compassionate.
