Warm hug, TEd. We went through that last April. Putting her down, age 14, was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.

A fond salute to Cassie!

...the Brooklyn Dodgers were frequently referred to in the newspapers as "Da Bums"...

Wasn't that "Dem Bums"? There are Da Bears, nowadays, but that's a different game altogether.

(left NY in 1958; so did they)

Subject: Re: Bums

Thinking of phobias recently, I thought to mention hobophobia, fear of hobos, here. But not to be confused with hodophobia, fear of roads, which would be a pity and an ironic one for a hobo.

I find it also ironic that "Bean" introduced a "Bum" thread--contrary anatomical positioning.

Fun to read this thread, by the way. Consuelo, your lines of hoboetry were worth the whole read.

Bummer,
WW
