It was damned cold yesterday, so I brought a bunch of blankets and canned foods from my house out to some homeless folks last night. I did he drop off while I was on duty at the firehouse. When I dropped off the goods with a homeless guy at his shelter in the woods he showed me his hand.

His ring finger was so swollen, he couldn’t move it. He said he smashed it a couple weeks ago and it keeps growing. I began trying to talk him into letting me take him to the hospital, but just at that time I got dispatched to a call for someone having trouble breathing.

Ya can’t save them all. That was the suck ass. I hope he found warmth.

Sleep tight man. Don’t lost that finger.
