I ran away and hitched a ride with Ryan Reynolds on the back of an old man’s F-150.

Hitching a Ride
Instead of writing tonight, I decided to do a different thing. This is a scan of the NYC skyline that I painted a few years ago, and I digitally painted (with my mouse, since I can't get my pencil to talk to Photoshop, and I needed all the layers) our favorite Irondad/Spiderson duo into the foreground. I think I'm in love. But now I need to write a story to go with it...

“Veteran Hoboes Persuade Wanderlusts to Go Home,” Winnipeg Tribune. April 16, 1932. Page 2.
----
Warned That Life of Freedom On Open Road ‘Ain’t Worth It’
----
Two Winnipeg school boys, missing from home since Thursday morning, returned to the fireside late Friday,dissuaded from life on the open road by veteran hoboes, who knew what sort of an existence it was.
‘It ain’t worth it, kids, and besides, they'll put you in jail if they find you in a box car,’ grizzled tramps told the boys, who were seen prowling around the Canadian Pacific railway. They were trying to get on a freight train.
Heard the Warning
The lads who heard the warning of experience were George Alexander, 12, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Alexander, Suite 10, Alma apartments, and Albert Cameron, son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Cameron, 177 Vaughan st. They are pupils at Mulvey school.
At about 8 a.m. they disappeared from home. After an unsuccessful attempt all day to board a freight train, they returned at midnight to the Cameron home, where Albert slept in his own bed. Young Alexander, afraid to go home or to telephone his parents, passed the night under the veranda of his chum's house wrapped In blankets smuggled to him by young Cameron.
Given Food and Advice
Friday morning the boys returned to the railway yards, while frantic parents and the police were searching for them. Hoboes gave the boys food and some money, but warned them of the dire punishment of boarding a freight car.
A third runaway was also found Friday. Alcide Lamoureux, 18, of 768 Simcoe st., grew tired of being out of work. To seek new fields, he left the city on a freight train Thursday.
His worried parents reported to city police shortly after midnight, Thursday. The youth was found at Bredenbury, Sask., Friday afternoon. He will be returned to Winnipeg on the next train from Bredenbury.
