Boz’s Rules of the Road You only get a lift where there are cars. Transport Each spot has its own karma. Hitch at the bottom of a hill, that way you look smaller.* Stand under a lamp post when hitching in the dark. Respect men with rubber stamps. Be patient, be flexible, be friendly. (Be clean.) Go with your instincts. Remember, the road doesn’t lead from A to B but from A to Z. A lift in the wrong direction is better than no lift at all. Pray, sometimes you are very close to God. And a couple of my own: Don’t try out your jokes on immigration officers. Don’t get arrested for looking like a freak. From: Rules of the Road (Tangent Books 2011) Mike Manson
