I'm old and soft now but I was a pretty tough kid. I could stack 60 pound boxes for a 12 hour shift like it was nothing. And I knew how to handle myself in a fight.
Yuppie hobos stood out like red headed stepchildren. Nice clothes, designer backpacks and sleeping bags, $200 boots. They were easy marks for the FTRA. I imagine Sidetrack running into a yuppie hobo and looking down at those boots wondering if they will fit him.
