Living in Walmart parking lot

This morning I saw the van belonging to the guy who seems to be living in our local Walmart parking lot.

I asked a friend what the deal was and she said that he used to be rather well off and was something in local politics/government at some point.

Apparently his wife died a couple of years ago and he had more than one stroke, he then lost his house and began living in a van in what he describes on his blog as "his downward spiral"
