Sad as it is that the man is homeless, you have to admire the resourcefulness of Randy Reed, who built himself quite a cozy campsite along the banks of the Kennebec River in downtown Augusta.

Officials removed Reed from the site yesterday, and will likely disassemble his riverside shelter, which has apparently caused a bit of damage to the surrounding area.

Thankfully, Reed was not arrested, but rather taken to a hospital to be checked out.

Winter's not far off, so this was probably a good move.

Maybe with the help of the good people of Augusta, you can find a real home and a better life soon, Randy.
