     8:50am  Man, guess where I crashed last night. I crashed in a motel room with Charlene. The wingnut old lady who lived in the tent behind me and Carol's. I slept on the same bed with her, but I slept in my mummy bag. I got a good night's sleep and took a shower and stuff.

     9:10am  I am at my corner, Sanjón. I was going to go see if that homeless girl was camping there, where I camped the other night. If she was I was going to smoke her out, but she wasn't. I'm going to fly my sign now. Oh yeah, I walked Pierpont all the way over to the oceanfront walking trail all the way to Sanjón. Back to work. Back to work. Oh yeah, Carol emailed me yesterday. I checked my email at that dude's house, shit I forget his name. A car is coming. I have to fly my sign.

     11:46am  I'm taking a smokebreak over by the bus stop. I'm going to ride the bus all the way over to California Street. Oh yeah, I ran out of flyers again, so I'm going to go to Turning Point and go sit down and write some out.

     11:48am  I forgot to tell you. Earlier I was flying my sign and I got hooked up with more weed! My bottle is jam-packed. Hehe, there's the bus. Let me see if I can get a courtesy ride. I'll tell him, "I'll walk it if I have to."

     3:36pm  Oh yeah, I didn't tell you. I went to Turning Point but it was closed. Kim and them were having a meeting. Kim was able to pop outside and give me five blank sheets of paper. I went to the Habit across the street and cut them out. I made a shitload. I have so many in my pocket. It's bulging. I'm going to pass them all out. Then I walked to the library and checked my email. I've had thirty seven entries so far on my guestbook. I'm going to walk to Turning Point.

     3:56pm  Blake hooked me up with a cigarette at the bus stop at Santa Clara and California. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     5:09pm  It sucks, I only have ten entries left to make on this recorder, then the memory is filled up. I know I left a lot out today. I had this great presentation after I went to Turning Point. I walked up there from Sanjón. I got to tell this other homebum there my story. He listened the hell out of me. I'm going to see if I can crash in Charlene's motel room again tonight. I'm at the Chevron right now, hanging out and smoking a cigarette. Oh yeah, I have a coupon for a free coffee somebody gave me while I was flying my sign.

     9:58pm  I was walking in front of Von's and this guy came up to me and asked me, "Hey man, do you need any money?" He volunteered me five bucks. Nice. Five dollar bill, just like that.

Next day..
