i make eye contact and usually smile or a nod. if i have spare change in my pocket i'll give it. when i worked in manhattan every day i would see the same guy all the time, so i'd usually make sure to have some change. out here by our f station there used to be a man who'd sit with his dog no matter the weather on the steps by the newspaper kiosk. the dog was always covered with a blanket in bad weather. people on their way in to the train would drop off dog food and maybe a sandwich. then she got hit by a car and there were candles and a small memorial. i heard he got a new dog, but i haven't seen him around since. you could tell he loved that dog.
