The legendary “hobo code”was a set of covert markings used to warn other hobos about danger or to clue them into good situations. As times have changed, a new set of code symbols have emerged to alert other hobos to circumstances in modern America. Perhaps you have seen them on your own city streets.

I was looking for something educational when I saw the title and I got something retarded. How about blog code like at the end of the title something like. “Modern Hobo code{wasteoftime}”
