Our mode of travel in Kharkov during my last vist with Lena was predominantly by the Mietro. We frequently came upon a sweet little Babushka with her cup soliciting handouts. There were many in this situation but Lena took a strong interest in this little woman. Maybe soliciting is too strong a word. This woman stands silently with her head bowed always at the same station. Lena walked up to her and dropped a few kopets in her cup and just for a moment this babushka raised her head, made eye contat with Lena and smiled at her as if she knew Lena. Well, she kinda did know the her...Lena took a shine to her many months ago and makes regular contributions. She likes this Babushka and her grandmotherly smile and eyes very much. I did too.

I would always give some money to an old woman or a handicapped person and ignore the others. Alla will do the same but for the healthy looking panhandlers she yells at them and tells them to get a job! Old people or handicapped she gives money to.

VERMONT! I Reject Your Reality...and Substitute My Own!
