Saudi Arabia has begun to explore extracting lithium from sea water
But Carr, after paying rent on a new apartment, was flat broke.
He left his place in Homewood, Alabama, shortly before midnight on Friday, figuring that as a former high school cross-country runner he could manage the 20 miles on foot.
Four hours later, as he was taking a breather, a police officer stopped to check on him.
Impressed by Carr's sincerity -- and learning that the young man had had little to eat -- the officer bought him breakfast, then drove him a few miles farther before wishing him well.
After Carr had walked as far as the town of Pelham, another policeman -- alerted to Carr's plight by the first officer -- stopped and gave him a ride the rest of the way.
Jenny Lamey was at home at 6:30am Saturday when her doorbell rang.
"It was a police officer. He proceeded to tell us that he had picked up 'this nice kid' in Pelham early this morning."
