One family looked over giving dirty looks and walking even more quickly when they realized what was under that blanket. This man sat on the side of the street with a blanket completely covering him. Sitting in this car that has been heated for hours, with a couple of my friends, while we were about to go into a warm restaurant to eat a full meal and have a few drinks. It was the first night that was below freezing. I literally watched this happen a week ago. Or some good Samaritan bringing him a blanket, a warm hat and winter gloves.
