U Louisville as Best "Uncharge-able" Place for Me to "Not-Loiter" Now in Call-Security-911 Louisville Re my Homelessness
The homeless shelter in which I stay-- not unusually for its genre-- requires that I leave right at sunrise, that is before 7am, and come back not earlier than 3pm; this means as a retiree that I must find excuse-able places that will be largely if totally immune from 'cops,' particularly the nastiest cops who are security guards, who in my own experience will too brashly try to en-force 'rules and regs' with the command-bearing of one who is dealing with say a murder-case.
This is especially true, this overbearing over relative innocence, in the Main Branch of the Louisville Free Public Library. . . What I have experienced there at Third&York lib suggests to me, in a way that may not be excessively 'paranoid,' that my transgenderF station may provoke enforcement of minute, almost unspoken rules that rather have to be 'invented' ad hoc, sometimes with the OK of the library administrators, otherwise with what a person, particularly a homeless person, say perhaps especially a homeless transF person, on pain of 'another kind of eviction' which would not be the case even in other suburban library branches, or where-I-station-at-this-moment (U Louisville Ekstrom Library, as presenting a condition to be described later in this blog-entry).
I have bus-debit cards now, but still as when I first became homeless must be ambulatory/iterative/peripatetic essentially all day, which can be difficult as now I am beginning to experience shortness of breath consistent with my calcified-aorta problem which will eventually and sooner than later require heart surgery. Down in the hospital district, in the complex of Jewish, Nortons, and University Hospitals, one would be surprised to find those who present themselves as healthcare workers (by the ubiquitous 'scrubs') who will ask me to leave a local-to-them sit-upon despite my inputting plaint that I am subject to this heart condition, and WINDED PLEASE LET ME SIT TILL I GET BREATH NO GET OUT being the response I get from these patently-well-paid who treat the patently-well-paid patients who happen about their venues.
Almost no retail store will permit a person to rather 'hang-out' for indefinite time, as this is definable LOITERING getting the CALL SECURITY/THE-COPS/911 SYNDROME GOING; I am careful but not despite that perfect in avoiding this 911-ing so-to-speak, therefore it has become a must-do to find OK places for me to quietly do what I do best-- thoughtfully study and read.
The COO/chief-advocacy-person for one of the homeless orgs that helps me had suggested that I NOT consider taking a course at the University of Louisville, for which I as senior citizen am able under the KY 'Donovan Scholar Program,' in which retirees can take up to 2 courses tuition-free. YET despite this well-heeded advice, I had a firmer dead-reckoning that WITH ID CARD FROM UL, WITH LIBRARY PRIVILEGES, WITH ADVANCEMENT AND BRAIN-STIMULATION SO HELPFUL FOR PERSONS IN MY AGE-BRACKET, WITH ALL THE BENCHES AND SOFAS ABOUT ON UL CAMPUS ON WHICH TO (NOT REALLY!) LOITER, IT WOULD BE ONLY NATURAL TO TRY ANEW TO TAKE A COURSE, WHICH ON THE VALENT-SCALE OF BALANCE APPEARED DECIDEDLY TO THE GOOD, WITH FEW DRAWBACKS (UNLESS ACADEMICALLY I UNDER-PERFORM BEING A MAIN CONSIDERATION).
So I shall take Latin 401, a reading of the Roman historian Sallust ("Cataline Conspiracy/War"). This as well makes nexus with my ability to send articles bearing on improving the lot of the homeless to 'my distribu-tees in interest of the law and news of advocacy in this domain. This as well as well meshes with excellent mass-transit connections here, and air condition thus

(i am smiling sardonically but with measured realism, i must say to those never-before-in-homeless-transgenderism. . .)
