Best one I ever made:
" North and West"
"Scintilating Conversation"
"Valid Licence"
"NOT A PERV"
(unless asked nicely)
Picked up a 1200 miler in less than 30 min. off that one.

I find your attitude about hitchhikers entirely strange. The only thing I can think of coming from a person who has been out on the road and has facial tattoos is that you've got poor karma, or you're paranoid. Oh, I'm a father. I'm 45 and have two kids. IN your road skills that you acquired on the road, you didn't learn how to read a persons vibe in like 5 seconds. I stop and pick up people whenever I can even if I have the kids with me and so does my wife.
If I see somebody hitchin I immediately go to my inner sences and say "hey, what do I feel?" If I feel great, I stop and immediately give them a ride. If I don't know, I'll stop and talk to them for a second. And sometimes when I have money and I'm not going anywhere I'll pull over and slip them five bucks.
I just think of how many times I've been on the road and some nice person has made my day, week or month by showing a little kindness. And you know what all these people that showed me a little kindness just asked me to pass it on. And I do keep doing it. I don't care if they're a chick, a dude, whatever. The only people I don't stop for is people with pitbulls because I don't like pittbulls. Their idiot dogs. But that's not because I'm paranoid of the person, it's the dog I don't trust. And also, the 110 lb little girl with a 120 lb pittbull, there's no way she can control it.

So what's your point ? That people aren't allowed to decide for themselves what they will or will not do ? Or is your point that you are just holier-than-thou just because you and you wife will pick up hitchers no matter what ?
I pick up hitchers and I don't have kids does that mean I should bash others for not being the same ? Hey, do what you want in YOUR car. What people do in their own car is up to them.
Arrow has helped a bunch of people and has ran a weigh station for travelers passing through her neck of the woods. She has neither bad karma nor is she paranoid.
I just fly the next substantially sized destination and dance on the highway. Not sure it has gained me rides, but I've seen a lot of chuckles on people's faces as they pass by. I can only hope they will see hitchers as more fun than threatening.

For the most part the vibe is the best. You just know. As for picking up others, i feel better if they have a pack, but it normally doesn't bother me either way. I also try not to get too pissed when a car full of little ones shoot me down. On that note, single mothers driving alone are always picking me up, I generally travel with another person too.
Then the pitt thing, man there is a bond between a traveler and their dog. You just have to be the dominate. To my dog, I know she could fuck me up if she wanted, but she trusts me and listens because we are, to her, a pack.
That and I really have to defend the pitt. I'm tired of people loving other breeds that are known for a bad rep, and turning around to sign off the life of somebody else's bad named pup. Shit, chow's freak the hell outta me, but I don't want the breed gone. I just try harder to be comfortable around them. It's not the dog's fault it's alive, just like it's not a person's fault that they are.
did i say bad? No just strange do you know what that means ? it was not a putdown.I come from a different generation than she does and fuck the dumb shit My wife was in the Army she knows how shoot. if it came down to it + if she don't like the vibe she will pass-up some one
but if i see you hich hikeing here I'lll just pass you up you can sit here for 2 days trying to get a ride What do i care?
also i have a way station here and you should see some of my wife's sewing
my wife is on her way to getting a PHD What are you doing?
Wife this and wife that. I guess SHE is YOUR version of a 120lb pitbull your walking around the block ?
"my wife is on her way to getting a PHD. What are you doing ? "
Ah..... just what I expected, more holier-than-thou or rather " I'm (She's) better than you " attitude.
Alright, I admit it, you are far more of a saint than I am. You will risk your family/kids/wife more so than I will ever do. There now, do you feel better ?
By the way my point isn't what you do or what Arrow does. It was simply this. WHERE THE HELL DO YOU GET OFF ON CRAPPING ON OTHER PEOPLE ? Just for not doing what you choose to do, or not giving enough help ? What your doing is simply making yourself feel better at the expense of other
in my view I did not carp on her It's not better or worse it's just different
You wanna crap on someone go crap on some conservative republicans that won't pick up hitchhikers at all. Don't sit there and crap on Arrow for not doing things enough to YOUR standards. Arrow does plenty for our people and community. She certainly does not deserve any crap from you or anybody else for her level of participation in and help given to the community.
different ages I'm 46 in a few days Different comments That all As for my wife and pit bull Bro Ive done time in San Quintin I can handle my business
not better of worse I can show you where you can go to school to learn just about anything and live in a nice place if that what you want to do I hope everyone learns a trade It is easy If i did anyone can I started with nothing
If we don't take care of etch other Who the fuck will?? I want to see everyone have succeeds in life I went from shooting dope in the mission district on the streets to a good life I hope everyone can
would you like to come down and check it out? Every one that helped me out said just pass it back to someone that need it and i was in the gutter so i do take the deat
I have to the people that helpes me too hart
If your pissed at me I'm sorry you are But I'm a really good person to have as a friend been in this trip since '77 so i know the ropes and how to do some things Fuck bro I should be dead .Most of my friends are
logan:crew:
Eh, I did come off as pissed didn't I ? That was not my intention. I just know Arrow to be a good person that goes out of her way to help others. I didn't think she deserved to be told that she somehow has bad karma, she does not.
Hey it's great that you are able to turn your life around from where you were. If you are willing and able to return the help given to you by helping others all the better. We are all on the same side here. We all help each other the best we can. Alright, enough of my tirade about this. Hopefully if you see me on the side of the road somewhere in NM you'll still take pitty on my sorry ass and give me a lift.
I can give you my phone # if you get stuck around here you can give me a call and come get you You can do your laundry make some calls anywhere you want Get on line and we like food here so we can feed you a spread Also we have a king size futon in the liveroom so you can lay back and watch first run movies in the liveing room on the flat screen
