lights cardboards radios
Several times on my way to work, I passed a gentleman who I supposed homeless.He had a lot of his possessions  tied  down to his bike and held a cardboard sign that said he was a  vet  who doesn't drink or do drugs, but would  appreciate  anything that could be given.He usually has  [MASK]  on and is listening to the radio.He is always  minding  his own business, often reading  as well  .I've never seen him  actively  "begging".
