Oh my, Charles, I had no idea! A beggar came up to Dane Ann and me asking for money outside a MacDonald's in Jacksonville. I felt guilty about not giving him some cash. Dane Ann said we should have bought him some food. This is really thought-provoking. Best wishes, Carolyn (Maybe I need to switch jobs! All that cash is tax free.)
