-- I was surrounded by three squad cars in Tucson Arizona at 2 A.M. as I was walking pack-on-back for a night's sweet sleep in the red moon desert:
"Where you goin'?"
"Sleep."
"Sleep where?"
"On the sand."
"Why?"
"Got my sleeping bag."
"Why?"
"Studyin' the great outdoors."
"Who are you? Let's see your identification."
"I just spent a summer with the Forest Service."
"Did you get paid?"
"Yeah."
"Then why don't you go to a hotel?"
"I like it better outdoors and it's free."
"Why?"
"Because I'm studying hobo."
"What's so good about that?"
