Even though pictures supposedly speak a thousand words I don't think this photo said enough.
I was riding the Grand Central Shuttle Saturday night and I entered a car with a displaced lady sleeping in the corner. At this time of the year it is not hard to find people sleeping on the train since it had to be in the twenties outside and the subways and the stations are the warmest places to go and not have to buy something to stay there.
What the photo dies not show (I tried to take a video) is that the lady had that part of the car to herself. And while that is not new I was surprised the lady did not smell offensive like a lot of folks will do. She was just there and the passengers were as far away from her as Superman is to kryptonite.
She was inappropriately dressed for the weather though (so I wasn't sure if she was mentally ill or just down on her luck).
And while the picture let's you see her in shorts and in a light jacket it does not show the cuts and scabs on her exposed legs. It may not show you how deep her head was buried so you couldn't see her face. I was able to make out that it was a female.
