While we are on the subject

LA can be a pretty lonely place. Especially if you spend a lot of your day in your car. I myself, on bad days, like to narrate my escapades like a sports caster ("aaaaaannnndddd....she makes the merge! Just squeaked in there! Barely room for a wheat thin between her and that '86 Accord. This broadcast brought to you by Wheat Thins!").
And today I saw something that warmed my lonely heart. There is a homeless man that lives on Sunset in front of the Food 4 Less. He sits there with his shopping cart full of bags and stares out at the cars as they pass by. But today he leaned over and put something in his bottle of water. It took me a second before I realized it was a magic grow animal. He was growing himself a friend, or perhaps just basking in the glory that is magic grow. Either way, it made me smile.
