Hobos in my mind were the first cheap travelers moving all over via the rail system and picking up work to make it to the next stop . . . . homeless people are very different. . . . they are in a survival mode. . . I don't think they look at their life as a adventure.<br />CiaoSicilianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04478918266290454362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-88771227881597629512009-05-30T09:38:19.511-04:002009-05-30T09:38:19.511-04:00Oh, hobos are still around ... it's just that now ...Oh, hobos are still around ... it's just that now they are called "Investment Bankers" :)AJC @ 7million7yearshttp://7million7years.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-73577144174513396172009-05-29T21:15:46.254-04:002009-05-29T21:15:46.254-04:00There's a fantastic blog by a "professional hobo" ...There's a fantastic blog by a "professional hobo" <A HREF="http://www.argusleader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=PluckPersona&U=2ffcad52b68246159c3147728a6cdcb2&plckPersonaPage=PersonaBlog&plckUserId=2ffcad52b68246159c3147728a6cdcb2" REL="nofollow">here</A>The blog posts are about halfway down the page.

He was from SC but had literally been EVERYWHERE in America, had a wealth of stories, very entertaining guy.<br /><br />Did you guys ever read "Wayside School is Falling Down?" One of the girls brings a hobo in for show and tell...too funny...Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02565495713155520727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-29489089472722142402009-05-29T00:53:16.629-04:002009-05-29T00:53:16.629-04:00Well, we in Malaysia seem to be doing well we have...Well, we in Malaysia seem to be doing well we have high growth and high inflation. An example of inflation would be the local desert "cendol" bought about a month ago at the price of $1.20 in local currency would now sell for $ 1.80 in local currency. Job growth is also strong as we have 2 jobs for every worker and Malaysia imports in foreign labour to do jobs that local workers do not want to do. Hence our problem in Malaysia is now high inflation and good news, high growth.. We do not understand why the Western Media keeps on saying we are in a Recession. Yes our economy slowed down in March 2009 but after that period our economy is now experiencing high growth and high inflation thanks to China's strong buying of Malaysian goods and services, thank you China ! So please do not say Malaysia is in a Recession when it is not, only the US is in a Recession, the rest of the World is booming thanks to China !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-51884003035128071522009-05-28T09:28:45.380-04:002009-05-28T09:28:45.380-04:00I think people are more aware of being politically...I think people are more aware of being politically correct these days.<br /><br />There are still hobos! I saw a documentary on them a few years ago. They're just pretty different from the old stereotype. They no longer carry a bundle tied to a stick as you describe :) and a lot of them are punk-types.1001 Petalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953255531499959699noreply@blogger.com
