Dear Dr. Smartypants,
My grandfather's favorite book was always Jack Kerouac's On the Road. Now that he suffers from Alzheimer's disease, he's always hitchhiking with his large thumb. He's very successful at it, too. I'm having to fetch him more and more often. What should I do?

Driven Crazy in Denver

Dear Denver,
I don't know why you sent me a picture of a nuclear mutant with a dying bird, but I have placed it on my refrigerator door utilizing a small magnet.

Thank you,
Dr. Smartypants
