Bones was born and raised up in the hood. He’s a son after our own hearts. He fits right in with our culture here. The hood of course is known for its criminal element, and general poverty. We’re noted for our burglars. Books* have been written about us, and our unique culture has been studied by many writers, and social scientists. No one in the hood needs to lock there doors at night, it’s just not necessary. There’s a certain code of honor, and all the burglars know that we don’t have enough valuable stuff to bother troubling themselves about. It’s a good, safe, friendly place to live, and raise a family. * http://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Second-Story-Man-Kripplebauer/dp/1569803137 Bobby [This message has been edited by Robert E.

Bobby, this one doesn't work as well for me, I much prefer your usual minimalist style, which makes for a more vivid impression. This one is alright, but perhaps too much "telling." That out of the way, I've enjoyed reading it nonetheless. Mark |

Thanks dear Brneyedgrly, Yes, the hood is safe for a kid like Bones. None of Bones clients are from the hood. Word would get out, and they would have to move. Love Bobby |

Thanks Mark, I'm pleased that you enjoyed the read "nonetheless". Bobby |
