    last pair of travelers I bumped into were in bellingham, they were spanging at the coop, on the far corner where practically no one stirred. preferrable to a freddys parking lot huh, I thought. they were very quiet and hardly said a word when I approached them, but offered me chips and chocolate...

    Political Correct-ness
