a lot of the homeless things and stuff like that now. so i know what i know what it's like to get down or they've gone in and try and come back up. and i'm, i'm doing it. doing it slowly. and so when you'd be here about 5 years, they picked me up about 6 months and after i'd been here, they picked me up right in my, in the mix bicycle down the side of the road, was about 30 feet off the road. they stopped me for no light on my bike after sunset, and i had a warrant from san diego felony warrant for some stuff and, and that's why i came out here to try and trying get away from them because they're just, they were looking for things they were creating, creating problems where there was no problems. so they could profit off of it. okay, jim, you've already put select stuff in the sheet, up have the people out here
4:39 am
because they have no risk to go. or they can't function in society. and the other hand of here because they loved the place and there's nowhere else they'd rather be than here. but i'm one of those people. so i to leave and i did for a little while. and i, i always remember that. and that's why i'm patient intolerant. with people because the, if i'm not serving, i'm taking a spot somewhere. someone can live here who has, who can live anywhere else. and so if i'm going to live here by my own choice, when i have the option to go to los angeles and do fine, and then i need to serve to make a student to earn my spot. here several 100 people have passed through here. either under way, somewhere else or provide safe space to abuse women, to elderly people, to mentally ill, people, to addicts, to children. you know, if i have an extra trailer, i always i always making rooms out of it so that when people come near phase the

4:42 am
as love as julie and i just in the sense that there are no authority is within the city. everyone is their own citizen, including the animal who owns free. awesome. and there's no organization except for what comes out except for what emerges from everyone coming together, bring their own situation to it, and creating their own home and environment. and joining in when i 1st came there, most of the population here was snowbirds, you know, mom and pop. get to retirement age, the kids a wall left. so they sell the house and buy a big motor home and start traveling. and you could stay here for free. and so
4:43 am
those were the people i met when i 1st came here. the people all started getting old. owning a motor home got is 30 getting more expensive than the economy we started going down and are all those factors together. those that crowd of people died out. but now i, in the world today. there's a lot of people that i don't have a way to build a life that you'd want, you know, the
4:44 am
4:45 am
the the next door rang thoughts and t like so one of these days i'm going to start remembering the whole, so there we have a lot of refugees. we don't have any regrets for refugees because we got refugees right here. you know, you see the, all the, the blue tart homeless people in los angeles and, and the other cities. i'm sure this is better living then living and skid row, los angeles, you know, that's gotta be so hopeless to chevy and think
4:46 am
about this. people come in here, what they think about that. i see a bunch of hungry people feel and this is blessing right here. for all that food we get him. we good. try like you to feel a lot of this whole thing really come and look every month. but every month feel they make sure that we hit, we have food out here. you know, a lot of people are hungry there. don't have no money or anything vices. you say yeah, it's all good to love the community that helps the people out here. that's what i love the most likely the, all this is one big happy family. that's what i like. and even though you see people here with uh, nothing, you know, some of them cardboard checks, you know, that but a cardboard shack of real coffee. if you just been sleeping on the dirt. you know,
4:47 am
you get a few odd jobs and maybe you could find a rundown, broken down trailers to live in. you know, they can pull your life together and that kind of way here, where if you're in the city, is it never ever met the cancellation in your car and see? yeah. you know, those, those sites you run you off, but i'm not always nice because that's why we call this the last free place. because it is not because you can't live here in free. it's because you can be here and nobody's going to persecute or prosecute you about it. you know, you're just laying down in the dirt here. people are just coming to ask if you're all right, if nobody's going to charge you off to jail for oh, $77.00 decades, don't insure. but so, you know, here you can choose the things you want to do without having to have
4:48 am
a you didn't thrown in jail, they have people think what you all are now i got to talk reading tony. sometimes it was just doing this brown over here. so yes, thank goodness, in my kitchen area is in transition, as is, everything's really in transition all this time. but uh, yeah, so it's all scrambled around right now and when i get done with it, well i have a good job. what is it? i don't know what to come with gas now. you were out for 2 days. i don't know. hardly ever run out of gas, but somehow within flushing away it is a things cost in some way where i've treasure i just talked to my beer because it's like i said, inflation o inflation is gone up. so i a last one year. i mean, it's been going up for like 4 or 5 years now. but the last year i, that's just really checked is right here in wallace. you know,
4:49 am
right in the money department. if you're fortunate, if you get money out here, some of the shar and some of the start, everything has gone up and show much impression. and especially if you have to shop right here in town through, gosh, robbery is a 1st degree you get food stamps once a month. i just but i buy cheap natives. very try to get my money is i asked as long as i possibly can. i mean, i got a couple more years. i retired that's. that's the goal here in future retirement. and after that now got some things to do. 6 bucks. fix with any of that. it's up 7, said 7 and obviously the $7.00 are going. the city here is the problem. i'm that for the family to no doubt 99 or 10
4:50 am
to the airbag issue, states gotta get ready to get your money. oh wow. i worst you for 25 years and whatnot. and then all a sudden it gave me as a, you know, um, literally disturb time ago. but i have no idea if you remember body showed here for uh, you know, you got your option down the highs and lows and this type of thing. and that is, um, you know, considered to be a handicapped of shots that to where they, you know, show up on your hands on there. i mentioned that mine was, uh, yeah, a boy. i loved the torch feeding. uh, we show a welder too. but, well, garage a pretty good welder, but in your torch department and feeling no my was that the top
4:51 am
floor where you said you wouldn't be probably able to make it out there with the amount of money. oh, hell no. but you have to have 2 or 3 people, you know, conglomerate, and together to do you have enough money to pay the rent to pay your electric, just pay your sewer bill. and obviously, again, by your groceries, you know, as you, it has a good combination of people where we're here, which we do do it in combinations that people only help each other. sure. and that's a good thing. over a year ago we started what we call the slabs, the soup kitchen, cuz every poor community in america and brought like it almost a world nowadays has some kind of free feeding. but we didn't like study. so i'm starting a little over a year ago on christmas morning. we started feeding on sundays and we've been feeding every sunday for a year. and as you can see, we're starting it a little thing here. um and it just is just trying to help our neighbors out. and i mean, it is
4:52 am
a place to congregate and always to eat. and joe is all done by one man named lorenzo. even when he's our cook. i kind of put it together and which means it to meet him in a couple of their homes and put it out. you're on the streets and i mean, you know, trying to change what chance i change these things out here. i'm sure you see, i mean obviously these are places you know, a free meal in a bag and food is a nice thing every week. we're on out at the back of food yet, but we're trying to get bags of food too. but we do every sunday we see before i can this lives, i was on the streets. i've been excited for 15 years. i've been in prison. i've sold drugs. i've, i've done a lot of things. and for one is i want to do something nice for somebody. so we decided feet. and i mean, i cleaned up stop doing drugs and open up the soup kitchen in my town. yeah, i'm start getting bags that always taking. i mean, everybody goes up. everybody goes up, somebody has really started early, early learning, you know, call me slow. you know, i think is like, it took 40 years or 20 years, however long it took me a long time to figure this out, but this is what makes me happy. now, when everybody can get to play the food in their, in their, their smiley trap jobs or, oh,
4:53 am
let's say there may be a dog. you remember we, me, he was the age of 1st. so the what are we the big tall. uh, let me see. uh i think opening day was new year's eve and oh, to the rain. i don't make money. you know, if anything, i spend my money, the reason i've kept at it for 20 years is the only thing i ever did that made a difference in the world. you know, if this wasn't here,
4:54 am
the people that out would be quite a bit different. i think issue, you know, you look around our existence, things to check and look rather bleak. look, but this is a thing where that the humanity of the beauty of, of life comes out. the feeling of the art, the feeling of people feeling like they're an artist, as opposed to a vandal. if it is fixed or selective. the collective self image of everybody here can be part of this. you know, even though it is adult, play of the growth. yeah. really bad actually. so my friend screwed this piece of middle line and i read, i read poxy, did you say you say that the young people wants to play did that year?
4:55 am
yeah, i learned like, uh, maybe 3 years ago now, maybe a little less than that and was a and wasn't conspiring when they were in the range. and yeah, yeah i, i said there for a year and a half or 2 years cuz i live like music, you know, so we sit in the phone and i watch them and i love it. i did it in new york. you like watching music and like i can do that just like most people in the audience, you look in there and you're like, i can never do that right. i can learn how to play guitar in my fourties and they were, they know a single coil. you know, where they're had a thing to which, and the most thing i would do is like, and doesn't carry over the 2nd half of them, good half of them. and then we learn how to write songs to, you know, we do a lot at the same time and i'm going to stand a very next to my heroes. you know, next to build a bill and all these amazing towns that people that view, you know, they're also my family, all those people. so they're letting me their instruments and i was like, these, me another car getting to see it isn't. yeah. now, i know like 4050 songs though,
4:56 am
and i wrote several songs and think to that i can do that. no, i don't know. that's what brought me here. was the public guard or kept me here? that the breath when i got here ignorant, i didn't know nothing about swenson the but it was the public car and some of the minerals that have bloom. my my and it was that was something with things for you to say. yeah. cuz there's not a lot of places where in america, where you can do this and not be criminalized right here you can see any kind of art and it's not criminal. it's appreciated and it's not in some phases. it becomes famous. so this is my original taxidermy dinner party that i did. i think it was 3 years ago when i set this up originally in there. so we've got young box. i'll go back in grandma back and young back is here. bragging about

4:58 am
i posted it on like some obscure, like not instagram, it's like google plus or somewhere. and i really, oh it's, it was one person to be like, oh that's weird. like delete the language the the did the whole fishing. yeah. that's the plague of christianity that it's not against christians. it's just the christianity crusades. and what not the propagation of one, religion type of thing and then the plague, i don't know, it's kind of open to interpretation just to put the name alone. the i'm not an atheist living here in the desert. you find, you find spirituality all over the place, so you get really connected to a lot of things here. the which the not just of, i'm interested in most of them on this for the membership space interest you i, you see, for seniors under the guise of
