Sure John PC Guy. Post a link to something that we can't read. I had been wondering if you knew about thoses hobos in Britt IA. P.S. Just heard the interview on Boing Boing a few days ago. You mentioned how Apple should put a Linux guy in the ads. Someone on YouTube has beat them to it.

John:

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this time of loss. Sounds like he was a great individual. I'll see if I can find his book at the local library. I'd love to read his story.

John:

Addition to previous post. My heart goes out the family of the Hobo King. I just learned yesterday that he lived right in my backyard (Toledo Ohio). I'm just a little further up in Michigan. My boyfriend's sister told me that he had come to her school (middle school I think) a long time ago on Career day. The hobos have lost a great man. Time for another hobo to rise up.
