Bones is locked up again, back at Juvenile Detention Center. He’s beginning to think that perhaps the staff at the place has taken a fancy to him. He wonders in his mind, if this is what his life is going to be all about. Bobby |

'Juvey' would never be anyone's choice, unless perhaps they were homeless and hungry and didn't mind having to submit to lock up indignities! |

Thanks Paul, What you say is very true. Too many kids think like Bones--"Is this what life is all about?" Bobby |

Oh! Dear Bobby If Bobbys life has been anything like Bones and I think maybe it has, then I can identify with you. One of my fabulous four had a habit of driving me crazy. Thankfully he grew out of it, but not until he had served time. (Not Tracey) Love 'an stuff Billie C. |

Thanks dear Billie C., Good bless you and all your “Fabulous Four”. No, Bobby has never been locked up like my alter ego Bones. I remember being proud of that the last time my Uncle Joe took me to meet my father who was locked up in a mental hospital. We found father peeling potatoes at the time. He asked Uncle Joe if I had been to prison yet. It made my father happy to know that I had been lucky enough to avoid prison. As Uncle Joe said, I was lucky. I was also in the U. S. Army at the time, they kept me out of trouble. Father, Uncle Joe, and all of that generation are now dead and gone. Father spent a lot of time locked up. He died there. He was a war hero in WW-II, but he was also a dangerous person. Love Bobby [This message has been edited by Robert E. Jordan (05-27-2009 10:35 PM).] |

hello Bobby, The UsA have a great tradition of free gun and locked up people, it is no mystery all around the world that there is in fact a problem of freedom for us citizens, being shot or locked up...prisons are places to worry about, Bobby had a bad experience that would change him forever...I think in such places we lose humanity. regards yann |

Getting locked up was nothing to do with Bones....and then he thought about it. |

Bobby - oh my, Bones is in that juvy place again. Not a good place to be for sure. However, in time he will be putting this in the past... BC |
