A little bit of Bradbury in me tonight...

A hobo ought to know the sound of a train from that of acid rain Cos' if he don't know he'll be good as dead by the time ~ the last whistle blows

I imagine hobos are hyper aware, sensitive and smart - they would have to be to stay alive

So true Gershon. This one remeinded me of that movie with Earnest Borgnine and the other older actor. Great movie. One riding the trains and the other trying to kill him by catching them on the train... Emperor of the North...
