This was a great episode to me. Besides all the things that make the show wonderful, my grandfather was a hope in the late 1920s and 30s. His wife died in childbirth and he couldn't handle it. He left his two boys and became a hobo for 8 or 10 years. Like riding the rails and everything. He wouldn't talk much about it, but I was always enthralled whenever the subject arose.

Sorry, but you are not talking about ep 18.

Well, I'm in Iowa and I cannot get CBC, darn it. Plus, I don't have broadcast tv and can't afford Acorn/whatever. So, I find the episodes where I can. I'm currently watching s15 and trying to figure out what happened to Violet's husband. Last I saw he was drugged by her and she was having him sign everything over to her. Now, she uses Hart again - is she divorced? Did she kill him? I'm glad to find this thread. I don't mind spoilers. Thanks
