Yeah... Isn't it such a shame that youth is wasted on the young? :D

seriously though, that was scary, my friend - I hope your hitchhiking days are over

Ah, never say never... I shall, God willing, tell some more hitchhiking stories, more of the "good ilk." :D

When hitchhiking, you meet some very interesting people, and often the salt of the earth...

Nevertheless, thanks for your compassionate concern, John! :) ;)
