The kindness of strangers is always something I've been aware of but only experienced outside of the U.S. While I was in New Zealand and Argentina numerous individuals offered me a free meal, a place to crash, and one couple even purchased a plane ticket for me. This trip however has changed my attitude. Hopefully soon I will be able to pay it forward just as all those who have helped Replay and I thus far on our journey.
So today I salute the California Drivers.
An Ode To California Drivers
We stand by the road with our thumbs stuck up so high
hoping and praying that you'll not pass us by.
The temperature and the heat is just no fun
especially when the thermometer reads closer to 101.
We really don't care if you are driving a beat-up truck or a snazzy Dodge Ram
your kindness and generosity gets us out of our jam.
Dallas and Royland, Tom and my new Berkley Spring WV pal
we cannot thank you enough for picking up these two gals.
I admit that I doubted the kindness of strangers
but today I stand corrected and will never think hitchhiking is a danger.
Thank you thank you from the bottom of our hearts
one day I hope to do my own part.
