real homeless people

I saw 4 "kids" last night while walking Guy on the beach. I've seen them before. They had a fire blazing from driftwood even though it was about a zillion degrees out. One of them offhandedly mentioned being homeless. They had full backpacks and were pretty grungy. I wanted to talk to them a while but they had a dog, a mutt that seemed really nice. Unfortunately it was an unfixed male and Guy has a problem with them so it would have been a lot of trouble trying to talk while keeping hm still. I really want to hear their story though so I will keep trying.
