A Hitchhikers Journey Pt.2
*These stories are honest/raw and may not be for the faint o' heart. The days came and went, from thawing icy mornings, to cool mid-afternoons... and November was already three quarters close to being over.. I'd been writing alot in my journal and taking the time to heal. & although I was in Texas, it was still freezing by the time night had fallen.. and I'd find myself lying awake at night, watching the cold air exhale a faint cloud from my lungs upon every breath.. My sleeping bag was not built for such low temps, in fact it was only a 40 degree protectant.. I figured it'd get warmer within each state I voyaged through, but unfortunately that was not the case... & My boots and shoes now had gaping holes where the soles and padded rubber used to be.. & I'd now accumilated a cute little family of blisters on each foot, and kept getting pebbles and sand stuffed underneath my socks when I walked... which kindly ripped the blisters open over and over... After packing up camp one afternoon, we'd begun walking toward the downtown area of the city we were in to gather some supplies and necessities for Pup & I... After a few miles, a strange little white man pulled into the parking lot dead ahead of me, and got out of his vehicle quite excitedly... where we then met after only a few steps toward one another. He greeted me with a smile and then looked down at Pup.. asking where I got her, etc.... He seemed peculiar in his interest and kinda caught me off guard.. I wasn't really sure what to make of him. He then said, "That's a Thai Ridgeback!, a very rare and expensive breed!..., would you consider selling her? I'm sure folk like you could make use of the money, being out here all alone.." I wrapped the rope being used for a leash a little tighter around my hand, and kindly expressed my zero interest in selling, or negotiating any type of deal for her.. She was now officially; My Road Dawg.

FISHING FOREVER
What is a Whacky Worm Rig? One will wonder if the fisherman who made it knows how to fish at all when one first sees a Wacky Worm Rig. Wacky Worm Rigs include a typical rubber worm with a hook positioned in the middle (used for many other forms of rigs). It almost seems like someone hooked the worm unexpectedly. However, what makes the Wacky Worm Rig so amazing is its weedless capabilities and action.
