     4:53pm  You will never believe where I am right now. I got a ride South finally. From Carol! This morning I woke up in my empty lot at seven. I walked to the Vons and asked the produce guy to cut me another flap to make another Going South sign. I told him I had lost the other one he gave me. Anyway, I'm standing there on my corner and Carol and some other people from River Haven yelled at me at the light. Carol said she would come back. After like an hour she did. I had immediately offered her what money I had, five dollars. We went and got biscuits and gravy at Wienershnitzel. Carol is really upset that I am leaving. After breakfast we walked back to the car she had left at the Chevron. Carol had asked me if she could have my new Patagonia sweatshirt some guy had given me on Pierpont/Seaward(1-12-07-2:02pm). At first I had said cool, but then I got to thinking how comfortable and warm it was. At the last second I backed out and wanted to hold onto it. We both started arguing and I ended up apologizing. After all, Carol did give me that badass mummy sleeping tube. I got back in the car with her and smoked her out. We ended up going to River Haven and hanging out there. Carol asked me why I wasn't taking Highway 1 to Venice Beach. I told her because 101 is in Ventura. Carol offered to give me a ride to Highway 1! Hell, she even gave me a ride to Point Mugu. We found a little hiding place among the trees and I bent Carol over the hood and we gave each other a proper farewell. I walked a little and here I am at Sycamore Canyon Cove, sitting on a bench writing in this little book. There are some people here filming a movie.

Next day..
