In the headline of my blog for day 19, I referred to the grumpy guy on the road as a wretch.
Turns out the etymology means we have something in common:
Wretch
Origin:
before 900; Middle English wrecche, Old English wrecca exile, adventurer; cognate with German Recke warrior, hero, Old Norse rekkr man.

An exile, an adventurer. Hmm, remind you of anyone?
