Corner Castoffs

There but for the grace of God... With that out of the way, allow me to tell tenderhearted citizens what becomes of the food given to the sign-wielding panhandlers on street corners. It's often discarded and eventually consumed by starlings. The other day I was tempted to claim an abandoned bag of food as I drove to Aldi. Alas, the nasty birds had contaminated the mendicant's castoffs.
