Thursday Night in Kensington

Another sign that winter is here- the ATM in Kensington has returned to its seasonal use as a homeless shelter. There's something humbling about withdrawing $60 while someone is passed out beside you, in a space 6 by 10. I was tempted to leave her some money. Instead, I went to Tutti Frutti, where I bought five kinds of soy products (milk, tofu, tempeh, tvp, and roasted nuts), Israeli pomegranate juice, California raisins, and coloured spiral noodles.
