Highway robbery

[Michael P. Barham]

Theft is something pilgrims have faced since pilgrimage began.  The psalms,
which go back what, 4000 years, pray for safety on the pilgrimage route to
Mt. Zion and the temple.  Pilgrimage journals record bands of theives and
highway robbery.

Every generation has its dishonest, and its people who sincerely are only
able to provide for their family when things get rough by stealing from
those who have the luxuries.

My advice is take a good lock, and if the bike is taken, well, rust and moth
decay.  You can buy a backpack and join the pedel-pilgrims, they'll be glad
to have ya.  I was pick pocketed two summers ago, to the tune of 100$, and
for a poor college kid (who only could afford the trip on a grant to begin
with), that meant skipping some meals.
