It’s snowing,
and the wind is blowing,
and it’s colder than hell.  

The settlement house just closed,
and they threw Bones out.  

Bones can’t go home,
it just isn’t convenient.  

Where do you suppose
he’s supposed to go?  

Do you have any ideas for Bones?

Bobby

Bobby - put Bones on a bus, sending you the fare by mail, and come on up here. He'd love it, fishing, hiking, a few good looking ladies, get him outta the city...

Hope there's an old abandoned car or something similiar for Bones.
He needs to get in somewhere out of the weather.

Having a home and judging it not convenient to go home, is one of the saddest things that can happen! And yet, I understand! A home without love can be icecold even if the heating is on.

Love,
Margherita

Bill,

Bones says thanks for the kind offer.  

However, Bones is always reluctant to leave the city.  Bones is a city boy through and through.  Anywhere else tends to make him very nervous.

Thanks dear TinaTrivett,

Those are very good suggestions.  I'll mention them to Bones next time I see him.

You're a smart woman Hon.

Thanks Eric,

That's a good idea.  

Bones is lucky to have a panel of experts working on his little problem.

Thanks dear Margherita,

Indeed you are correct.  Home can be a dangerous place.

Bones says thanks for your kindness, and understanding.

Love Bobby

Thanks dear Ida,

Yes, in fact both Bones and I have spent nights sleeping in a church.  They're always open.

Love Bobby
