Typhoon he wasn't really hitching, more just walking down the shoulder in the rain. Not many people are willing to pick people up anymore, too many stories about people attacking them. My dumb ass is big and ugly enough that unless I get a bad feeling, or am in a hurry, I'll pick someone up for a few miles... I did pass him at first, then pulled over and moved my golf bag to the back seat, then I went back for him.
