Well, back to the original topic for a sec... I had actually hoped that having my CHL would allow me to re-enter the world of helping strangers. I mean there's like a 1% (or maybe .01%) chance that the guy on the side of the road is running a scam, but I really want to avoid being shot so didn't really wanna take the chance. But now that it seems every walking human being above the age of 6 has a cell phone and the coverage is pretty good nearly everywhere, it seems less "reasonable" to stop and help folks. I hope I am still open to it, as I have also been helped on the road several times, back in the day as they say.

Picked up a 60-something year old man in Bainbridge, GA one time, standing on the side of the road in coat and tie with his suitcase, and thumbing a ride to the VA hospital in FL. Gave him a ride for 100+ miles. Good times. But that was back in the '80's.
