[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2586875, member: 9374"] They're headed to CO for the weed, lol. Actually, it's in summer months OK's homeless population drops, because it's typically so very hot and shelters either don't let them stay inside all day, or they don't cool the inside (some) to keep costs down. They do come back in winter and populations usually rise... in part due to Oklahoma's "mild" winters (compared to many places up north) and the facilities and support they receive. I know my step-dad's folks are (well... were, they're in their later 80's now) quite active, doing a big giveaway of winter clothing and gear in Nov every year... they spend a couple grand themselves and give it all away. They have a soft spot, as their son (not my step-dad, his brother) chose to live on the streets and was eventually killed by being crushed in a dumpster on Christmas night a few years back. [/QUOTE]
