I've seen it all

So yesterday we had to deliver some t-shirts to another campus.  We're driving less than a block away from our campus and notice a homeless man on the corner.  Nick (guy i work with) and i both look at him, Nick looks away back at the stoplight.  I'm stuck looking at this homeless person all by myself.  This may not seem important, but it is.  Plus for clarification we have a large community of homeless people in our area and we frequently help them out.  (one named Monty frequents and is a big fan of silver spray paint....)  So I'm watching this guy and two seconds later he falls stiff as a board directly back and hits his head on the concrete....this guy is OUT, i mean O..U..T OUT!!!!!  Plus, I've just seen his head literally bounce off the concrete and waaamo he is gone.  As I'm gasping for breath and doing the pointing cant seem to find something to say dance in the front seat of the car nick calmly looks over.  The next few seconds will be ones i will never forget in my life..... Nick calmly states the name of the individual, gives me a quick background and how the campus has tried to invest in his life.  As he is dialing the phone (no time for a phone call by the way) he states that he is just drunk and passed out.  Turns out he is calling the police, who know the guy by name and head out to pick him up.  Needless to say nick finished the quick 30 seconds of a timeless piece in my life by letting me know that he has seen this before and I'll probably see it again.  If that wasn't enough of a culture shock on perspective for me, today we're in wal-mart grabbing some drinks and we see none other than "Doc" from Back to the Future.  As I'm telling some of our volunteers this they inform me that the day before they had both on separate occasions seen a delorean with stuff on the back, just like from Back to the Future....life is certainly getting interesting.
