    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          @george-k said in Hitchhiker:

          I was wondering why they seemed so unsurprised!

          I did this in the French Alps, close to Mont Blanc. Barfed all down into the valley about 10 minutes in. My guide was also unsurprised. He said the gentle rocking and the frequent switching of direction can disorient people.

            Upon closer viewing, you can see that the vulture lands on the stick, and there is a morsel of food that s/he eats before leaving.

                I'm not big on omens but that one would make me a little nervous.
