The Urge To Nap

Walking Jasper on a quiet upscale neighborhood street, I saw what at first appeared to be a set of golf clubs, but was soon revealed to be a man sleeping - feet in the gutter and head in the middle of the street. He didn’t appear to be homeless- no possessions. He just looked to be overwhelmed by the urge to nap.

I remember 31 years ago, in Tucson, in a similar situation. I called the cops and they overreacted, sending an ambulance with a loud siren. Best not to call the cops. Still.... An unwary motorist could come around the corner and drive over him. So, I put in a call, and I hope the guy’s OK.
