Sorry I don't have work, but I have to ask - old school thumb out on the side of the road hitchhiker? I can't say I've seen anyone do that in years. Because serial killers and general safety and all.

Any tales to tell?

Yea, mainly on highway on-ramps, but I've walked down roads for miles doing the thumb out. I'd say hitchin is generally safe if you got common sense. If they seem sketchy, just make up an excuse to reject the ride, and always carry protection. As for stories, I got a couple, but my favorite one recently was I got a ride on he back of a motorcyle. As we were mobbing down the highway, the dude just handed me a breadstick from his coat pocket. Its the weird comical things that stick out. Most people just enjoy helping someone out and having conversation for their journey.

You could basically walk into any kitchen and say you're looking for work and get hired that day. I would just hide the fact that you're going to be temporary. The restaurant industry is hurting for people.

there are a lot of homeless here that you can hang out with, maybe you could try to organize some of them into a labor gang
