p.s.


In my past two days on the road, I've seen not one, but two youngish vagabond-looking couples walking along the side of the highway with giant backpacks, bedrolls, and a dog. About 70 miles apart, so I assume it was not the same couple. I suppose it's that time of year that the snow has melted and the train hoppers are beginning to head north? Can you train hop with a dog? Fascinating.
