One day in the mid-70s, I was hitchhiking from Oakland to San Francisco over
the Bay Bridge. A guy picked me up and freely admitted to being drunk within
30 seconds or so! We were still on surface streets heading towards the
bridge, so I got out and ran at the next stop light.

In hindsight, I should have called 911 and turned him in. I just plain
didn't think to do it, and I regret it.
