hobolinks :: May :: 2007

From Vernal, Utah, White Crow can be relied on to express the mood of a place in a few words:

Wyoming. It is a crazy loop of string in my mind that is trying to connect all of the miles that have brought me over our America and through so many lives that I have no thought of forgetting. [...] If there have been lonely miles before now, this is the same flavor of land. A mouse found its way into my pack last night. I talked to it.

I wonder if every state hosts hobo gathering at some point? Probably, officially or not. I like the article, which opens with:

Hobos are not homeless bums that ride trains to take vacations. They are men, and in some cases women, who are trying to find work to make ends meet for their families.

Change [seasonal] work to IT work, and you have a cyberhobo.
