Bones streets are
tough and mean.  

On these streets,
you’ve got to be sharp
just to stay alive.  

No one here’s
going to cut you
a break.  

Most anything you need,
you’ve gotta take.  

No one’s about
to hand you anything,
no not here.  

Every second,
of every day,
the street lets you know
if you’re alive or not.

Bobby

Perhaps, that is how most of Life 'survives' on planet Earth.
Good to read you again, Bobby.
PS, I waved to you from the cloud cover twice this week, flying in and out of Philly airport.

Yo Midnitesun,

Perhaps you are correct.  Thanks for the wave, I sensed you were up there.  The city is always a welcome site from up in the air.

Before I retired, I flew someplace just about every week.

For a number of years, I made it around the world almost every month.

Love Bobby

Some day (soon perhaps) I shall actually visit Philly beyond the confines of PHL terminal. When I do, I'll look for you, Bones and Felix.

Thanks dear Midnitesun,

I'll E-mail you directions from the airport.  Felix, and Bones and I are here, all in one person, more or less.  The real Bones and Felix are in the neighborhood.

Bobby
