    Advice for travelling with back issues?

Disc degeneration, narrowing of the thingy due to osteoporosis, etc. etc. I've come to the conclusion that leather-tramping or train hopping is probably not the way to go.

    Advice on helping people.

    How do you know the people you are helping are legit? I helped a couple of guys out tonight at the grocery store by giving them $2.50 and a jug of sweet tea from work. I just want to be sure that they are cool.
