I'm always looking for water. Every chance I get, I fill up a jug I carry everywhere in my backpack and haul it back to my Dodge. Apart from begging, the thing about poor people that riles rich people the most is our grime. Cleanliness is identified with goodness in America. It's next to Godliness.
Dirt is evil.
I think we're supposed to clean up and pretend we're real. I don't oppose cleanliness. It's that cleanliness for someone living in a car is a labyrinthine ordeal. But now and then a car-dwelling paisano does spiff up. Once cleaned up, he isn't too bad.
