As for how they keep them charged, when you sleep on the street and basically got nothing you tend to get pretty resourceful. Most people don’t know that if a bus shelter has lighting, it has a good chance of having an electrical socket somewhere out of sight. Or they could plug in at the library or on the occasion that they stay at a shelter. But if you were to walk around in any given city and really looked around, I bet you would find dozens of publicly accessible outlets.

Heck, if you don't smell that bad, you can walk into a bookstore and recharge off of any outlet near a bookshelf while you catch up on some reading. McDonald drive-thru's also have exposed outlets (at least here they do). Warehouses, factories, business parks...they all have exterior outlets. Just don't try to mill around a residential area looking for free AC or you'll wind up with a paranoid housewife calling the cops on you.

Word to my crew on the streets ya'll.]]>Mar 31st 2006 6:21PM
