This might be a First! While doing an RS-44 pass yesterday, a guy came begging me for $$.
It was a tall tale of woe and sickness and hunger and need to get home for his Meds, etc.
It was all caught on my logging recorder. He was happy with the $5 I gave him (I guess). I
played it for my XYL and
she said, "What the heck kind of place were you AT???". (A shopping center
parking lot!)

Sounds like you were in an Indianapolis grocery parking lot! They are all
over with the same story.

Uh huh. Can't unfortunately tell which are real.
Really off-topic for AMSAT, but I'll leave it with a paraphrase of
Maimonides: "The highest form of charity is to help sustain a person
before they become impoverished by offering a substantial gift in a
dignified manner, or by extending a suitable loan, or by helping them
find employment or establish themselves in business so as to make it
unnecessary for them to become dependent on others."
