Beautiful Moments, Part TwoLast week I saw a helium balloon cross the road at the lights on a perfectly timed gust of wind. Today I saw four people trying to get into a GWiz electric car. They failed.
What's the best thing you've seen recently?

All of the Above...Also (alas) a caveat.
Sometimes the person will refuse an offer of food and ask for money instead.
There are two reasons for this, one reflects badly on them, one reflects badly on the resf of us.
The first is that they're prefectly well housed and fed thankyou very much but need money for heroin.
The second is that a (longish) while ago some utter cunt went around posioning the beggars around Trafalgar with warfarin and the rumours are still circulating.
if you _really_ want to help someone on the streets feed them by all means, but also carry a paper with the number for your local street outreach team, Shelter, or similar.
The best way to help someone on the street is to get them off it.
