I reckon you have enough tough. ;-) There is a small settlement near my road, they are trolly bergies, so mostly keep to themselves - except for the drunk nights every now and then when they make a noise. They are always super polite and always greet. One of the biggest lessons I've learned is to pick my battles.. I help the boys I know and one or two others who I've also gotten to know; and I don't give them money, try and do the 'right' thing. It's hard though - no person or child should have to lose their pride and dignity like that! A super sussed scientist (yes, scientist!) like you? I reckon you have enough tough. ;-)

I have all the street people I saw in Cape Town imprinted on my memory, the way they would line up in Rondebosch near Pick n Pay and walking past was like a gauntlet, I was always wondering who to give change to that day. It is a tough tough city. I wonder if I have enough tough to survive there again? I don’t know that song, but it reads like a beautiful poem.
