A hitchhiker researching a book on "The Kindness of America" is currently recovering in hospital after a gun-toting truck driver gave him a small donation of some searing hot lead.
Ray Dolin, was hitching on Highway 2 in Montana on Saturday as part of a project to produce a memoir on the great things about the open road in the big country.
Dolin was sitting on his backpack, just west of of the town of Glasgow e
arly Saturday evening when a pickup truck slowed down.
However, rather than extending the offer of a ride, the driver extended a gun out of the window and shot Dolin in the arm.
The pickup truck then headed west, leaving Dolin to use his other arm to flag down a passing driver, who then notified the authorities.
...
A nurse at the hospital where Dolin is recovering told the AP he was not taking calls yesterday, suggesting he's had his fill of kindness right now. ®
