Volunterism is the new black.
I have been doing a bit of volunteer work since I have gotten into Atlanta. Most of it has been at the Sopo bicycle co-op I will be there tonight actually, building and working on bikes for people. Yesterday was “Food not Bombs” were I spent several hours helping cook, and then pass out food to homeless people in little Five Points. That was a surprising amount of fun, and I got to sit and talk with some really interesting people.

I didn’t have my camera with me, so it was cell phone pictures for the day.
We met a group of kids who were currently train hopping from one end of the country to the other. The girl had a broken foot from a mis-judged landing and they all had. Their goal for the evening was to get drunk at which point an interesting question got raised.

“You don’t drink?”
Me:”no”
“Drugs?”
“Nope.”
Turns out the rest of the rest of the people I was working with were all vegetarian straight edgers. They started off by asking me. Well do you eat meat. I answered, “of course.” Then they asked the amusing question.
“Well do you have sex”
“Dude, did you notice I am sitting here reading the local adult services and strip club directory.”
