Urban Survival
On June the 28th, USA Network’s Burn Notice television show shall debut. This show follows CIA agent, Michael Weston, after he gets a burn notice. What is a burn notice? That is the spy equivalency of being made redundant. You go from living on the James Bond lifestyle to being homeless in the big city.
Thus it is an urban survival situation. How would you survive if you went to having nothing in just an instant.? You have no money, no home, and no car. What will you do for food? Where do you go when it starts to rain?
As I read the challenge of this ad, I recalled how we used to live in Frankfurt, West Germany when I was in the army. During my first tour we would go drinking and trying to meet girls. We were too cheap to get a hotel. My buddies and I would sneak into the main train station and enter the office areas. Once inside we would sleep on the hall floor. We could stay there until the guard chased us off and then we would seek out another quiet hall. Fortunately for us it was a big train station. So that is my advice to Weston. Find a train station.
As for food. If you just lost your job find a job quick before you get smelly. That way at least you can make a little money so you might be able to get in the YMCA and get a shower. If you work at a restaurant you are usually fed too. And if you are a former spy, you are probably smart than the average Joe. Find your way into a better job. Use your resources. You can probably con your way into something that is going to pay decently.
What would you do in this circumstance? Are you going to watch Burn Notice? I think it sounds pretty cool. June 28th is the debut. Don’t forget.

make friends with the grocer and who knows he’ll give you a bite of bread *looking to the sky*
SA: I would be happy to clean his parking lot or sweep the store for bread. Sure beats dumpster diving.
