Saw this on my way through the UW campus this afternoon. I honestly thought I might be looking at a dead body:



I did a quick u-turn, leaned over, touched his arm (which was cold) and asked if he was alright. No response. His breathing was so shallow I couldn't detect it. I asked a passerby for a phone to call 911 since I wasn't getting anything from this guy - that's when he opened his eyes and looked up. I again asked if he was okay; nothing. He just closed his eyes and laid his head back on his arms. Whatever, dude!

I did some business at Recycled Cycles and on the way back 45 minutes later passed the same spot. I circled round and sure enough, he was still there (that's when I took the pic). Clothes were too nice/stylish/new to be a homeless guy. In the final analysis I think maybe he was nodding (we've got a heroin epidemic in Seattle according to local news sources).
