I agree, As long as their were no children around to ask all those after the fact questions. This lifestyle is for adults and should not involve anyone other then adults. Who knows who else saw this man. 1). note : I am going to take a educated guess and say that this man is one of over a hundred homeless people who live up and down the river in tents supplied by so called do good doers as well as most of their meals. Why work is their opinion when it is all just handed over to you. The word among the homeless is Fredericksburg is the place to go. All the comforts of home. (That is if they had one)
