It’s a wet, cold night,
Bones is hungry.  

The settlement house is closed,
he has no place to go.  

His teeth are chattering,
he can’t stop shivering.

Bobby

Thanks Yann,

It's memories of nights like this that mold the Northern character.  It's what makes us aggressive, and nasty.  

Many times help doesn't come until you find/take a warm place.

Bobby - being cold and hungry isn't good for Bones. Send him over, have food, shelter, and good conversation...

Thanks dear Annie,

It's good you have those memories.  Then you can get into Bones head.

Love Bobby

Thanks Bill,

You are correct.  Being wet, cold, and hungry doesn't really do much for anyone.

Bones will be right over, he likes the sound of that.
