Roland: A quiet day

I did little all day but sit with my sign, as I had done the previous two days. One man came over, shook my hand, and said something to the effect of “keep up the good work.” Did do considerable writing in my journal, and then much of the time spent reading a book by Loren Eiseley. A couple of people came in with a large container of toys and put them around the Christmas tree. Around 4PM, Jordan arrived with a much appreciated bottle of apple/V8 juice, which I used to wash down my vitamin and medication pills.

At 5PM, we left under a sky resplendent with one of the most spectacular rainbows I’ve seen in a long time, and this followed by an equally resplendent sunset. These good omens, I’m sure. God is with us.
