Ever notice that when you learn something new, it seems to pop
up everywhere for the next couple of weeks.

About a week or so ago, while browsing symbols.com, I
noticed a couple references to hobo signs. The page didnt
have much info, but I found more by googling. Okay, hobo
signs. Intersting.

Then I go to borders and am browsing a book I was thinking
about reading, a collection of symbols by Henry Dreyfus.
Of course, hobo signs are in there, no surprise.

Go visit some friends on saturday, one of the books on
the shelves is another symbol collection book. I pull it
out and before I even open it, a friend starts talking about
the hobo symbols in the back.

And to top it off. There was a hobo symbol reference
on last nights simpsons.
