Meet Guy.

Guy was in jail for awhile and addicted to drugs.  

Guy is going to school now.  He is taking care of his children and he loves helping others.  He takes me into Nashville and we hang out for a bit.  He gets me some McDonald’s for breakfast.

Meet Chuck.

Chuck picks me up outside of Memphis.  He is from a small town in northern Louisiana.  

Chuck works on an oil rig in Pennsylvania.  He just got this job and it is first time, this far north.  He makes a lot of money at this job and he only has a sixth grade education.  He doesn’t think he will ever change jobs.

Chuck has a crossbow in his back seat.  He uses it to hunt deer and hog in Louisiana.  

Chuck is tired so he lets me drive his large, diesel, 12 cylinder truck.  I think it is a Ford.  I drive well.
