Correlation

As I walked to the Institute of Hair Design in Chinatown this morning, I was approached by a twenty-something guy. He asked me if I could spare a couple of dollars for bus fare, one of the usual panhandling lines. Then, he interrupted himself. "Man, your arms have great muscle definition," he said. He went on about that, totally forgetting about his request for money. Oddly, he did not look homeless or like a derelict.

Typical Haircut Hottie

A Vietnamese guy restored my non-extreme monk haircut. He immigrated four months ago from Vietnam. He said that he could not speak a word of English when he arrived. He now speaks English fairly well. A friend taught him, he told me.

Typical "Emerging Markets" Hottie

The Vietnamese guy is just one more example of the sheer number of immigrants (i.e., financial refugees) fleeing to the islands as well as the mainland empire from the so-called Asian "emerging markets."

Typical Independent Hottie

My guess is that the recent decline of China's economy is the cause. I would imagine that many neighboring Asian nations are heavily dependent on trade with China. Thus, if China stumbles, they all do. And, in actuality, there are many more nations around the world that are dependent on China.

Typical Draconian Hottie

Well, the homeless problem on the island has been met with Draconian measures, just as I predicted. The "sweeps" are occurring more frequently. So, where do the homeless end up? According to local news sources, the displaced homeless have either entered the various homeless shelters or have "found alternative housing."

Typical Home Hottie

Oh, come on. If the homeless had "alternative housing" options, they would not have been homeless in the first place. And, believe me, most of them will not move into a bedbug-infested homeless shelter.

Typical "Solutions" Hottie

The only reasonable conclusion is that the "solutions" for homelessness are farcical. The "solutions" are only designed to force the homeless into the shadows. Out of sight, out of mind. Thus, only the most obvious homeless encampments have been targeted.

Typical Exploratory Hottie

Not surprisingly, there has been a shortage of homeless motorhomes (read: beat-up minivans) available for purchase. Correlation? You be the judge.

Typical Reconnaissance Hottie

If and when I move to the renovated Chaos Manor (read: rental housing), I will embark on exploratory excursions to investigate the feasibility of motorhomelessness. I will run several late night reconnaissance missions to possible motorhomeless sites. Should prove to be real interesting, eh?

Typical Summer Hotties

Enough of the nonsense. Bring on the hotties of Summer already! Yeah!
