I'm with bastardstepchild, I pick up locals all the time, it's part of living here but I don't pick up folks on the highway. Hell, it's hard to walk anywhere in the area without twenty people stopping to ask if I need a ride. Last time my bike broke down 6 pickup trucks were stopped at one time. I had several offers to have it hauled home. I do the same for them.
I used to hitchhike in my salad days in SoCal but now most of you are too scary, I'll take the bus if needed.
