Screw the Eagles!
Yeah, standing on a corner in Winslow Arizona, what a crock of shit.
More like the black hole of hitch-hiking. Now I am no expert here, but I have hitched a variety of places, lonely roads in Alaska, scenic byways of California, and remote dirt roads in central Mexico to name a few, but never have I had so little luck getting a ride as in Winslow-Armpit-of-Arizona. Seriously, over three hours on a corner of a freeway turn-on and no one stopped. Lots of people waved (possibly the most per capita in my experiance) but none stopped. I was supposed to be visiting Mel-the-shorter in Sante Fe, but since by 6:30 pm I had made only 58 miles from my house in Flag, I descided to bag it, go home, and drive myself the next morning. And you can be damn sure if I meet any hitchhikers they will get a ride; it would seem I need to build up some more good karma before I head out again.

Jared, I didn't suffer 24 hours of labor bringing you into the world for you to do a dumb shit thing like hitchhiking. If you have a death wish, come home and I will beat you with the pepper grinder. Love Mom
Amen to that! At least someone else in on my side.
