When I decided to do the City Hall camp-out (the second one Real Change organized) I figured I'd need sleeping gear. To me, sleeping gear means mat, sleeping bag, extra blankies, pajamas, and a teddy bear, or similar item. I've had a down sleeping bag since 1979. Mat, since last homeless bout. Extra blankies, always. Pajamas, a problem. I like to sleep nekkid, usually. So I went to the Goodwill outlet store in Sodo and looked for suitable PJs. I wanted PJs with a pig motif. Not finding any, I settled for sweats.
Then, on the way out, I spotted a giant plush toy in the form of a skunk. I picked him up and found him truly plush. I knew immediately that he would be my teddy bear alternative. He was so big, he could even double as an extra blanky.
