First line of lyrics to an oldie AND a goodie....
At least not with the crowd I run with.
Hitchhiking.
Have you ever hitchhiked? If so do you remember when the last time it was?
I do.
I was "thumbing" across town. I got picked up on Broadway, heading towards the side of town where I currently live.
It was late.
I had a twelve pack of beer under my arm.
I wasn't legal drinking age yet.
Oh, and the car that pulled over to pick me up...
...was a cop.
Not ideal.
I haven't hitchhiked since then. That was close to 30 years ago.
There are other things I haven't done in nearly 30 years.
Driven a car without wearing a seatbelt....
Climbed a tree...
Successfully completed a somersault
Listened to a J. Geils cassette in my car..while turning on my high beams from the floor...
Plucked an icicle off the side of the house (and licked it)..
Written in cursive..(except for my signature, which is just awful)..
Took more than 30 seconds to dial a phone number...Didn't you hate dialing numbers that had a lot of eights, nines, and zeros (you kids will have to use some brainpower on that comment)...
Held a lighter up a concert.
Old school...
New school...
That's right...that's a cell phone.
That's lame.
New ain't always better now, is it?
That's it for now...have to go brush up on the metric system while using my slide rule and sipping on a frosted mug of A & W root beer.
Peace out.
I used to hitch everywhere...main form of transport for years...to school, to anywhere. It was always fun.....and somewhat exciting.Sometimes I wish that I could just disappear and hitch to anywhere that I want........no possible in today's paranoid world.Let's face it....you see the average hitcher today, you are thinking serial killer...am I right?
