It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw


Well, if you are ever in the Saginaw area and need a general surgeon - oh, happy day! It may be my husband.

He has been offered and has accepted a position with a private group there. We are pleased as all you-know-what that the hunt is over.

But, speaking of Simon & Garfunkel and hitchhiking, we stopped in Ann Arbor to visit friends on our way home. Returning to I23 via I94, there was a hitchhiker on the west bound portion of I94! Now, I have not seen a hitchhiker in probably 25 years. What was really funny was the fact he had the same luggage I do . . . a raspberry-colored ROLLER BAG! Wow, gone are the days of duffle bags and Mrs. Wagner's pies, eh? We also saw a second hitchhiker on north bound I75 in Ohio. Trout fishing in America? Next thing we know they will be hopping freight trains and pulling out prayer cards. Bunch of Dharma Bums.

But, in all seriousness, Husband and I are still hoping to start the domestic animal rescue. If we do, I will have a pet goat, because I have always wanted one, and a donkey, to help around the farm (saves gas, cuter than a tractor). I told Husband I would name them Simon & Garfunkel. He asked which would be which. I explained the goat would be Simon, and the donkey would be Art, because Garfunkel was an ass for leaving Paul . . .

Incidentally, to all idiots out there, please note: IT IS SPELLED G-A-R-F-U-N-K-E-L not L-E!
