The Bismarck Tribune reports the city will crack down on bums and panhandlers. In North Dakota it is not much of a problem. Just like mosquitos the cold weather chases the bums out. Kadizzle remembers an old article in the New York Times about someone who designed a special shopping cart for bums to live with. The Shopping cart had a little seat in the front that could keep the bums dry.
While we were in Denver the Kadizzles saw a bum sleeping in a parking lot which happened to be under a bridge. Sleeping in a parking lot seemed like an ideal way to get run over. Kadizzle is thinking about designing a bum RV. A bum RV has to be light, cheap, turn into a bed, and ideally would have some amenities. Solar power is a given. A can crusher would be nice. Dual purpose cushions for sitting and sleeping will be included. Perhaps there should be a five gallon bucket for washing, and as a portable toilet. There could be a small electric heater for plugging in. The challenge for the Bum Rv will be a fun design project. All ideas are welcome.
