Day-222-5-minute-freewrite-tuesday-prompt-homeless
Well guess who's officially homeless as of noon today? You got that right, my friend Randy! He received a robo call this morning to report to El Montana Motor Hotel to check in for a couple days, on the city's dime.
There was a big accident on his block and it knocked out the gas and electricity for at least 2 days. With temperatures scheduled to be near 100° for the next 5 days, the city decided that this would be the safest route to take, with this older neighborhood.
I picked up Randy and his things then dropped him off, since he can't drive anymore. I figured if I got him there early, he might get one of the better rooms. I just checked in with Randy and he's doing ok, the a/c is cold and the tv is bigger than his. Randy doesn't mind being homeless for a couple days, I think.

thanks @fireawaymarmot
Glad to read the rest of the text after that alarming first sentence! An avalanche of tension all at once in the beginning, nicely resolved. All the best :)
I'm happy he has found a place to stay. You're a kind friend!
