Today I was walking Kona at one of Sunnyvale's lovely parks, Las Palmas. Mia was with our sit-and-play group (four moms, two stay, two go away for two hours to do whatever) so I took the opportunity to give Kona a much deserved LONG walk after days of shortened walks due to the wet weather.
Kona had a ball sniffing out where other dogs had been and being able to walk unhindered by a toddler's curiosity and short legs. Halfway through our walk, we came upon a homeless man sitting at a picnic table. I saw him from afar with his two shopping carts and the figure of a man clothed in many layers despite the 55 degree weather. I thought he was reading a magazine, but as we got closer, I saw that he was on a LAPTOP! It was hooked up to what looked like a small generator and some wireless cable contraption. I was amused.
For those interested it was an Acer laptop, not as expensive as others, still it must have taken a lot of change for the man to save up for that one. I was curious about what he was surfing, but could not get up the courage to walk behind him as the paved path was in front of him.
I'll have to go back to Las Palmas and see if he's there again.
