Another time hitchhiking to the beach, this older lady picked me up. She at least had the decency to make an upfront proposal for sex. I declined. Hmm.....she might have taught me a thing or two, but damn, she was like as old as my mother.
One last hitchhiking story. When I was 16 years old, I was working as a busboy for Denny's in North Hollywood. My shift ended after the last bus home (my car was broken down). It was a rare rainy night in L.A. I'm standing out on Ventura Blvd. with my thumb out trying to get a ride to Woodland Hills and apparently smiling like an idiot. A car pulls over. I get in the car with five other guys all built like fucking mountains. They seem friendly enough, until the driver asks me if I don't feel afraid being in the car with them. What the fuck? I said no....which was a lie. Who knows what was on their minds, but I must have handled myself well because, I was dropped off right at my driveway with my sweet little butt intact, thank goodness!
