Sad Story

They met on a rainy morning several years ago, at the base of the Helmsley Building in Midtown Manhattan. As others hurried to work, Pamela J. Dearden, an executive with JPMorgan Chase, noticed a woman, unperturbed by the rain or her surroundings, standing on a 36-square-foot sidewalk grate she had chosen as her home.

Ms. Dearden, known to everyone as P.J., offered her umbrella to the woman, who took it and thanked her.--BW

There are literally thousands of untold stories like this one spread across our land.  In fact, this is a big reason why our country is not so "exceptional" as certain types would claim it to be.

Unless they mean exceptionally neglectful, which they do not.
