Rain Man?

From Concord, Massachusetts, we get yesterday’s news of a homeless man caught sleeping in somebody’s home.

Police: Former Mental Patient Found Sleeping In Concord Home

"It was determined that he (Robert Spire) had smoked some of the homeowner's cigarettes and drank some wine," Lt. Walter Carroll said.

Portsmouth police said they were surprised to learn that Spire was not still at the state mental hospital.

Spire told police he had recently left the state hospital and was headed home to Florida.

The story reminds me of the movie, RAIN MAN.

Is the homeless man, Robert Spire, (also, a former mental patient?) a savant like Rain Man (Raymond)? Where was Spire’s brother (like Charlie) when he needed him; or, now that he does; or if he even has such a brother?

I think all of us need more (true) family and (honest) friends willing and able to help us out in times of need. We all have times of need, eh? I do; I just don’t need to smoke cigarettes and drink wine, thank you.

I wonder … Who is Robert Spire, the human being?
