    I have an elder friend of mine who's in his 60s now. He grew up and lived all over the South. He has a ton of hitchhiking stories. He started hitchhiking when he was 15 in the early 70s, he told me about the time when him and his buddy were picked up by a Motorcycle Club/Gang in New Mexico and they partied with them for a few days,he has a similar story to David Choe's where a preacher picked him & his buddy up in Texas and the preacher got them drunk & try to come on to them while they were passed out. He said him & his friend hitchhiked everywhere together and were best friends, they got arrested trying to get a ride on a freeway on-ramp. They took him to jail and his friend to juvie(18 & 17), they let him go a day later and he tried to find his friend, he said he called the detention center and they told him that they didn't have anyone by that name and he was never able to find him & never saw him again. This guy has a ton of interesting stories, I need to film him telling these stories or record them or something

    Have a friend who ended up in this scenario. Attacked his friend who fought back struck him (attacker) with an object which ended his life. They left the scene were caught sometime later. Prosecutors spun a tune that they were hustlers that conspired to rob the man. Class and appearance no doubt suggested too easy a win for these trained liars not to exploit and so naturally they did. My friend served 20 years charged as an accessory for not reporting the incident. He came out 36 years old nicest guy you could meet as he always was. The friend who fought off the attacker sentenced and I assume served 25 years. Legal system is a game, not justice. People running the show are more criminal than the crooks, which they are.

I never see myself stopping. The world is too big to sit in one corner and call it good. I've met some wonderful people, some insane individuals, some lonely but lovely souls, and some desperate disasters...and I've loved every minute of it looking back.
