yeah i used to work the grave shifts at home depot... a radical company if there ever was one
my favorite HD story is from my buddy's uncle who was operating a crane to build HD's new HQ in atlanta, he climbed up (500 feet) to the cab one morning and he saw a kid with a earth 1st! banner slung in a black hammock at the end of the boom. there was not much work done that morning LOL
anyway, travelling when you're under 18 is tricky shit w/out the whole parent/guardian permission- i ran away a few times when i was 13 and always came back or got caught sleeping in parks, i ended being given permission to go for a summer when i was 15, finally off probation,
then pretty much left whenever i wanted at 16. but if you are reported as a runaway and the cops run your id yer fucked- claim you have no id and they'll still detain you on suspicion of not being able to grow a beard
so try not to belittle other people, i know this is cyber space and what people say may not be really meant, but there's my take on travelling as a runaway
