I'd light 6,000 candles on a cake, but I can't afford them...

I'm tempted to pack a bedroll and "HIKE IT" just like the good old days....

~Wolf
(Seriously)
There doesn't seem to be any way I can 'make it' here, despite my skills and background. Maybe if I met some people i could find a way out of this trap...

As of a week and a half ago, I have no truck insurance (thanx to my soon to be ex) so I cannot drive anywhere. -Like I can afford the gas on retired income!

It sux, and I'm fighting it.

I just sent a resume to a DOD site, but if it doesn't see fruition in about a week - I can hitch hike if I have to, and am a great hand at troubleshooting.

I think I've got about three S-Bags, a good serviceable dome tent, and i can trip all the breakers in the house for the time being (gas is already shut off). The phone company will want cash regardless...

I haven't hitched anywhere since 1976!

Oh - DUH! Mustn't shut down the 'fridge....

Are you thinking someone coming through from Georgia, Florida, or other southern states?

If I don't find work fast - I can't spend a dime on anything but bills and food. It just might go that way. The flip side is that if I get picked up as a tech - I may be farther away then ever. It'd be a kick if I got sent out to the fleet as a civilian version of what I was doing before. I have my fingers crossed real tight on that possibility...

I'm just a few mile north of Memphis. But I know the ride ain't free.
What answer do you want?
I can only give you what I've GOT...

YOU...
No way!
Dennis, you're not asking to pay my way are you?
