last time I picked up a hitch hiker was 1974. Will be married to her forty years next month.  That's a story we need to hear.  Have you got that story penned down? If so, I hope you choose to share it. That'd be a good read!

NOW your screen name makes more sense. Nope- I picked up roadkill from a really bad incident back in'98. Had the front right wheel of a Humvee center my chest. Like most, I've had a few serious incidents. This one all but killed me though. Went around with the tire track imprinted on my chest for about a month. One day somebody, well meant of course, asked me how I was doing. At the time about all my ribs were broke, sternum crushed, lungs pancaked, and I answered "Like a damn roadkilled raccoon" and it just stayed with me.

last time I picked up a hitch hiker was 1974. Will be married to her forty years next month. That's a story we need to hear. No real story - I went to Germany to visit for a couple of weeks in 1974. Father was sent there as a GS civilian missile technician (Redeye/Chapparal). I had been out of the Army about a year, was somewhat going to school here so went over. It was a nasty rainy day, about 1/4 mile from the village where we lived I saw a young girl attempting to get a ride but cars just passed her. I stopped, she didn't want to get in because I was a foreigner but did anyway. Later she said if it hadn't been raining she would not have. She was doing her student teaching at an institution for really "special" kids nearby and had missed her bus. We talked as best we could, I got contact info at the hospital from her. I stayed in Germany for two years. Went to school, got a job as a bartender, ya'll can figure out the rest. Will be forty years married next month.  Then   Now  That is absolutely awesome, that's a story for the grandkids

Ok, i have to ask: bow did you wind up taking a hummer tire to the chest? Pretty simple really - Ft McClellan, FTX, I'd been on duty all night, was still dark when I got off so I crashed at the edge of a bivouac area, a'hole MP drove through the bivouac area without a ground guide. Generators were running, trucks on the road, lots of noise. Woke me when the front wheel hit my left shoulder, rolled up on my chest then lights out as it collapsed. DRT. Almost got another couple of guys, they started hollering, he stopped. Medic got me breathing again, everything was really busted up. I walked out of the hospital the next day. Had tire prints in my chest for weeks. Needless to say it made an impression on me.

I see now why bicylist shave their chest. that tire ripped the hair right off your chest. Being one of the more "evolved' type males there wasn't a lot to start with but the EKG pads and bandages pulled out what lttle was there anyway. Just one of those things that happened. I got over it. But you can bet I pay attention now when I hear a diesel start up. Don't want to go through that again.

You did the right thing. If she just needed a ride you know as well as I do, a woman dressed like that couldn't have walked for 10 minutes down the road without someone offering her a ride. She was either working the street or trying to scam you out of some cash. You saw her earlier, so she could have called someone for a ride then. You will probably see her again. Hahaha working the street in Fairview now that's a good one......have you ever been to Fairview lol

As much as I travel the roads for work I've seen a LOT of crazy stuff. I've been robbed once. As sad as it is, I've learned to trust NO ONE. For those making the comments about being a man and not having your wife carry your balls, how would you feel if it was your wife that gave a ride to a strange man? You did right. What if it were your daughter who was really in need and no one would help her? More that one right way to look at this. You have to go with your gut and use your brain. That doesn't mean things will always go right. Sadly some people may not have anyone to call on no matter how hot they are. And sadly a rare few want to take you for everything they can get. JMO
