You are welcome here, unless, of course, you are loitering.
Fortunately, the local constabulary, of whom there were many in the vicinity when I snapped this image, were thoughtful enough to allow this poor soul to enjoy some additional moments sound slumber despite the warning sign. Kind of them on a chilly Sunday morning -- one the last few days of summer -- in our nation's capitol.
Apart from the utter disgrace that our priorities are so out of whack and our morals so wanting that the ranks of the homeless are growing in number every day, I am bothered by the notion that a church wouldn't welcome someone to sleep on its steps (let alone indoors) when that someone is in need.
