First Pitch: 100 Days of Being Homeless in a Honda For Science and Routine

On Tuesday this week, I woke up in an emergency room parking lot.

The sun was not up yet around 6 AM as I got out of my car to walk toward the row of three port-a-pottys lined up next to this small satellite hospital, in between two growing areas in an Orlando suburb. Everything in Orlando is in close proximity to Disney World, and many other theme parks. The growing areas in this part of town won’t be connected to this hospital for a few years. That leaves a lot of vacant space and the early stages of development in this small, quiet area that still gets Disney tourist traffic.
