When I told Dupree, sure, you know him, he wears a pork-pie hat. At the moment I forget the other homeless guy's name. Once I was off the streets, I took the guy's filthy socks home and hand washed them for him. I felt bad that I would not invite him inside for some respite from the streets, but landlady was quite strict and I did not want the guy to make a habit of coming over.
Dupree did not know what a pork-pie hat was. Today, without the internet I could not describe what kind of hat that is. Pork-pie hat is on my mind due to seeing it in my notes from Kareem or Giant Steps. I will guess I made a note of it, because when I read the book it reminded me of a homeless memory. Maybe someday I will reread my blog and see what memories made it to blog posts.

Hopalong Cassidy ??? 😎 (we did watch a movie on home projector as a child)
gunshot=flat "pop", no ring to it ~ I heard gunshots like that while living on the streets ~ one night was glad I decided to take a different route from 7/11 to downtown, the street I normally went down, heard shots, next day read about the shooting in newspaper
Even today I associate LOUD bangs as gunshots ~ mainly because ex was a hunter and also rifle shots common in Pocono Mountain during hunting season.

Earl Monroe, Marcus Garvey, John Brown, Mike Lynn "The Great White Hope, " Oscar Robertson,
