then there's the proverbial "street" as in "street-smart" or
"streetwise", which for me implies a certain exhilaration in being
able to function at all in a challenging environment, and a knowledge
of the things necessary for basic self-preservation - look both ways
before crossing, don't pee on the 3rd rail, don't mess around with
Jim, or Slim either - as well as a hope for some form of refuge (sit
down and patch my bones, and get back Truckin...)
