Fortunately, my mother taught me to be polite to strangers.

Some of you should try it!

I can see lots of curious onlookers walking away thinking "What a Jackhole!"

Not the way I want my hobby to be perceived.

Last week I parked at a local beach side restaurant and was approached by three homeless guys that were passing a bottle of vodka between them. They asked the usual questions and then asked how much it cost. One said about half a million. I corrected him and told him what it really cost. They then asked me for money. I said no, but I told them I would bring them some food. I ordered burgers and fries for each of them and took them the food before my wife and I ate our meal. They took the food, said thanks and then retreated to a park bench to eat.

My point: I could have been an asshole and dismissed their feigned interest with a few crude remarks. But then I probably would have returned to my car and found a pile of s--t on the driver's seat. Treat other's with dignity, no matter what their situation. You never know when you may cross paths with them again while they are on the way up and you are on the way down.

But, that's just me!
