This is interesting and informative, but it doesn't seem to convey a portion of your life as some of the other "dog" stories do. Or were you old enough at that time to know this information about smilodon? I am sure you were old enough to flip off a driver who nearly hit you with his car and then smile because he sipped from his bottle in front to a cop.

Hi Brett, you certainly jumped from one subject to the other in this part. In places I was not quite sure where you were going with this. Now in then we seem to be back on track. Ulla:)))

Your story is intriguing, but it jumps around from one topic to another too often. I had to keep reading over the different subjects you covered to make sense of them. It is a good story, but maybe you could put the different topics together in a better manner. Maybe all the Dolly Parton stuff together and why it relates to the story.

So, you were just bumming around. There doesn't seem to be much going around during this time and place in your life. This chapter appears to be mostly you philosophizing about life and origins but nothing too deep.

This continues the adventures of the homeless narrator as he makes
casual, in this case deadly, contacts with the rest of society. He shrugs off a near death clash with a young driver, not much older than 'this morning's oatmeal'! The language certainly shows this youngster has potential and confidence as he exchanges 'pleasantries' with the driver.
The writer adds interesting information about the history of the area which, as a reader, I find fascinating!

Were you frightened when you saw the fisherman by the bridge? Sounds like he was also a street person. (But who knows?) I guess I'll wait until the next chapter to see what happens.

    No, he did not concern me. He was a street bum. Appreciate the review.

This work has reached the exceptional level

It's always nice to read about people who I feel like I can relate to. We are all true characters of life, except for those who spend most every day trying to emulate someone else. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

You've shared a number of interesting facts in this chapter, Brett. I'm sure you will relate them to your story in the next chapter. It seems you were born with an active mind. Well done.

This held my interest because I've always loved Dolly.
Even wrote her a song years ago but the rumors that she was coming yo the church were false.
...
Kinda got lost here after that.
Interesting though.

The closest I ever came to sleeping on the streets was sleeping in my car, and only for about three days, and then I found accomodation, because I was working, but nothing like the real thing, I'm happy reading the story of a streetwise kid Brett, good job, great descriptive story, well done, blessings Roy

    Life has a funny way of making one do whatever it takes to survive, like sleeping under an underpass. Appreciate the review.
