Hobo Harry’s Boxcar Blog – May 24, 2025


Broadcastin’ live from the sacred trash fire, where the bean cans whisper truths and the raccoons nod in agreement.


Evenin’, fellow travelers of the twisted tracks.

Tonight, I sat by the fire, my twelve sacred bean cans lined up like the jury of the cosmos, each one attuned to a sign of the Zodiac. The flames danced, casting shadows that told tales of the day’s events, and the cans echoed with the murmurs of the world.


🔥 Trash Fire Meditation: The Flicker of Fortune

As I stared into the flames, the fire crackled with the energy of the day’s happenings. The sparks spoke of a world in flux, where the old ways are questioned, and new paths are forged. The crackle reminded me: even in chaos, there’s clarity to be found.


🔮 Bean Can Scryin’: Echoes of the Day

  • Can o’ the Capitol: The House passed a sweeping tax and spending bill today. The can rattled with the weight of decisions made behind closed doors, echoing the footsteps of those affected.
  • Can o’ the Storm: NOAA’s forecast warns of an above-normal hurricane season. The can swirled with the energy of impending tempests, reminding us to brace for nature’s fury.
  • Can o’ the Flames: The Midway Fire near Tracy disrupted parts of I-580. The can hissed with the heat of wildfires, a testament to the delicate balance we hold with the land.

🧭 Hobo Wisdom of the Day

“When the rails split, and the path is unclear, trust the rhythm of your heart to guide your feet.”


Until the next fire, keep your cans clean and your spirits high.
