I didn't feel it would be right to post a real person's image -- I don't know who called.
BUT, she said she had gotten several messages from me, and was calling to say that they have no idea right now how full their Bus(es) is/are.
She said it would be a while before they had any idea.
Ya don't SAY.
But I told her that I -- and many others in both the black and white communities (I have no idea about Hispanics or Arabs, etc.) -- have questions about their local chapter -- and that I might ride with a church I'd been in contact with today.
And I DID mention that she sure got back to me late and their calculations of bus head-counts could stand some considerable improvement.
Then she began what sounded like reading from a script about how the NAACP relies on volunteers, etc., and I realized I haven't told anyone or blogged about this for years, but in Georgia I'd been a member for several years, and done some volunteer work for the NAACP.
But when I said that, she got bossy, bellowing, "Could you hold on, please, I AM TALKING!!!"
And I accused her of just reading a script and she denied it and I told her I KNOW ALL ABOUT THAT. I WAS A MEMBER ONCE.
And she got to huffin' and puffin' -- and I probably just now exaggerated that -- but that is when I got "potty-mouthed"

Otherwise, Dewain got home and had not gotten either job or been able to reach them by phone -- make of that what you will. I now throw darts at his claims to decide which are true.
And he complained VEHEMENTLY that cops had chased him off panhandling three times -- which is fewer times than twice the last week. Turns out he was given a summons on charge of Panhandling today -- and warned that if they catch him again, he's going to jail.
I thought, what a GREAT SOLUTION!!! But quickly realized that you only go in for a day on that one, so just something to get him mad.
Well, he DID manage to eat at a homeless kitchen tonight, so maybe he sees the writing on the wall -- first time for that since he moved in.
But he claims he will make the money somehow. I hope he's not so desperate that he gets back into greater crimes . . .
We'll see.
