Ali the magic bum and I want pictures

Well this was supposed to be originally about Ali the magic bum but now people have pictures on their blog and I want them too. So basically this is just my plea for someone to tell me how to get pictures. Now on with the show...


So Naperville is rich. So every morning last term when I would drive off to work I would see a man, sitting on the bench in front of Barnes and Noble. He seems like he has been there for a while and this is like 7:30 in the morning. So I'm wondering, "Is he homeless?" because God specifically tells us to give to the poor I was thinking what I could do for this guy that would make his life easier an show the love of Christ to him. But then I start to wonder. First off all, Naperville doesn't seem like the kinda town to be friendly to the homeless, especially in their downtown area. Naperville is the kind of town that has benches so it looks like people could sit down but if anyone does the police would promptly come ask you to move and not loiter at the bench. So I had no idea why they would let a bum sit there day after day at the busiest intersection in downtown Naperville. Then I also noticed that he had a nice coat, better than mine at least. His bike was brand new, and the blanket he had looked really warm. So I thought he may be a person just sitting there for the fun of it. Well time has gone on my friends and yes Ali the magic bum is still there. Except now he's accesorising and has a laptop now. Oh yeah and a sign that says something about Naperville. Actually the real story is that he has a job but just doesn't own a home because the government is after him. So of course Naperville is the perfect hide out. On another note, wait, I'm outa notes, that's all you get.
