	Surviving on the street during a Denver winter is brutal. It means sub-zero nights, city sweeps, staying warm, protecting your gear, and figuring out who you can actually trust. Despite the odds, August didn't just survive—he put down roots.

	Through grit, consistency, and street diplomacy, August built community and established a reputation as a steady, reliable, and trustworthy presence in an environment where trust is typically a liability and real loyalty is few and far between. Love him or hate him, you aren't him—so if you feel the need to complain, do it somewhere else.

	~~A few straightforward guidelines for reading this site and dealing~~ with ~~August in general:~~		Like a memoir, or diary - but with space to elaborate on specifics on people, relationships, events, periods in depth should one wish to dive further. One of the greatest pities is that when August dies, so too does everything they have ever experienced as they have percieved it. They hope this written account can provide insight, explanation, understanding into the who, what, why they are - August Casso!
	* '''Leave Pretentious Judgment at the Door:''' Life takes people ~~down strange~~, ~~demanding~~, ~~and unconventional roads~~. ~~If you need everyone to fit into a safe, predictable mold, this site~~ is ~~not for you.~~
	* '''Value Direct Honesty:''' Plain truth—even when ~~sharp or uncomfortable—is always preferable to polite deception~~.
	* '''Live with Intention:''' Life is brief, ~~unpredictable~~, ~~and rarely fair. August's goal is simple: make~~ the ~~ride count, stand up for people~~ who ~~cannot defend themselves, and live a life packed with as much grit~~, ~~adventure~~, ~~and genuine intrigue as possible.~~
