Frequent commenter Amy recently busted my chops for my lack of intelligent content of late. Normally I would say something witty and debonaire like “I fart in your general direction,” but instead today we are going to actually give a shout out to another blog - a rarity I know.

Amy runs Sunshine City Lassie and last week I read a really moving post about a homeless man she met. Even a cynical old asshole like me can occasionally be pried away from my maturity blackhole by a pretty simple act of kindness to the ghost inhabitants of St. Pete. Take a minute to read about a man named Jimmy. Then take a few minutes thinking about the last time you did something nice for a stranger down on their luck. These people are a fact of life in St. Pete and it is abundantly clear the city isn’t planning to do shit to help them out, which means it lies squarely in the laps of the people, you and me, to help out in any way we can.

While you’re there, feel free to check out the rest of Amy’s unique blend of crafting, Etsy, fashion and vintage miniature furniture. Hell, you could even buy some of her Etsy crap if you felt so compelled.
