Bones sweet cousin Marika’s main man Muck takes a liking to Bones. Muck was in the same fix Bones is in when he was a boy. Muck was started off in the trade by his own mother. Bones and Muck have a special affinity with each other, the affinity of shared experiences. Muck likes to fish. He lends Bones one of his fishing rods, and they spend a lot of nights together, sitting on the end of the pier at Pulaski Park, down at the end of Allegheny Avenue, fishing. It gives them both a chance to talk about their common bond, as they watch oil tankers sail up and down the channel of their mighty Delaware River. Bobby |

Fishing comes close to meditation, which offers healing of shared wounds. Could picture this well, dear Bobby. Love, Margherita |

I hope you catch a Big one. I like to fish too. Some times here in Idaho we get a Salmon as well as a Trout. Good work, catch one for me. Billie |

Thanks dear Billie, In the Delaware we go after those big Bullhead Catfish. We're bottom feeders, don't you know. It a lot of fun, even if we don't catch much. There is also the Shad run, that could be starting soon. That takes a lot of work though, you have to almost spear them with a shad dart. They are good to eat. Love Bobby |

Bobby - been to that place Bones did some fishing, at least I think it's the same place. Been a while back though. Tell Bones it's great fishing up here, he's like it... BC |
