The Van Clan
Seems that everywhere I go I see someone else living in their van. Some might be adventurers, others like myself who simply need living arrangements that are in keeping with their income.
This was a rusted out, beat up blue Ford van with an air matress and cooler visible through the not quite fully blacked out window. I’m not sure who it was, this was in a strip mall with multiple shops. It was here last time I stopped too, when I first got into the area and wanted a bite to eat. Being a small town the grocery store is also a deli and fast food seller.
It amazes me that even in such a small little place I’m seeing others like me. Whatever their story, they got their own hoopty little home on wheels too.

There was a van parked in the alley behind the old place, on the byrn mawr side, for a bit of time(one of the places that’s going condo, and so going through re-hab)and every time I took out trash I thought of you.
Not that you’re trashy…
But I was aware of what I was tossing out, and trying to think of things that I no longer need, but would be of value to the urban hoopty.
Update soon? I love reading your observations about life…
