   Same. People are often asking, "Where can I find a payphone?" & I got nothing,   
   except in places too far away to walk, so I'll usually let them use my mobile,   
   as I have unlimited calling/data. . .

   I didn't either, but I would get, especially in therain, offered rides a lot, &   
   if it seemed more confortable, I'd take it!   
      
   About 8, a mate taught me about hitchhiking, & I used that a lot up to &   
   throughout my teens (covered far more ground than I could've by walkng -- no   
   way was I going to walk 2,000+ miles in a go!

   Likewise; the '70s were a serene time for me, as viewing from my status now as   
   an older adult; they sucked as a kid cuz I got bullied throughout, but if I   
   could put this mind into my childhood body, I'd end the bullying immediately, &   
   enjoy the chance to do things much differently. . . then I'd probably have   
   turned into one of the spoiled pukes running things now! So maybe I'll just   
   stay me & when I am. :)
