I was on the other side of the track, trying to live off $4,500 in
southern Mississippi, sometimes living on wilderness camp grounds
because I didn't have enough money for a place, no apartments or
houses to sit, going once a day to Bonanza's eating as much as I
could from the $3-salad bar, sometimes living with people who, with
their medicare card had to go 90 miles to find a doctor actually
accepting it, among people whose 2-room houses had big holes in the
wall and a washer/dryer on the porch because there was no room inside
and who sat in their cars on Sundays to enjoy music and air
conditioning--- doing a neo-Piagetian study of learning to reason
with ratio and proportion for my Ph.D.
