my own stuff, mainly
Yard sailing went well. L3wt included 16 books for four bucks. The prize so far is the 1971 hitchhiker's guide to North America, full of sage advice about such things as how to politely refuse a toke offered by a driver if you're already too stoned to see the scenery, and areas where the clenched fist salute will get you more rides than thumbing it. I read most of it on the ride back to college. (UMCP and UND both got stars for being "particularly hip or pleasant" for longhaired hitchhikers. and Columbia, Columbia of all places, had a "Grass Roots" hotline with a crash list for freaks.)
I want to hitchhike crosscountry now. wah. I even got Mom to admit that since she can't recall a single hitchhiking-related crime in the past ten years, she has no right to keep telling me that "it's getting more and more dangerous these days." Any of you know anything about contemporary hitchhiking conditions? I just don't hear about it anymore, and nobody thumbs rides in this area.
