Saturday January 20, 2007

     8:22am  Hope Falls gave me a courtesy ride to Westlake Village.

     8:46am  Hope dropped me off in Westlake Village at the bus stop at Cindero Canyon Road and Via Colinas.

     9:36am  I don't think the bus runs today so I walked to 101 and am sitting down. I would be walking, but I am starving.

     10:19am  I got tired of waiting for a ride so I walked the highway a couple miles to the next exit. Right before I got to the exit this cop on a motorcycle stopped and I assured him I would stay off the highway, that I would just walk to a gas station and ask for rides. He quickly agreed. While I was walking up to the gas station I see Sparky's Mexican Grill. Yes! I went inside and gave the manager Oscar my line in Spanish. He's hooking me up! Oh yeah, in walking from Westlake Village I passed the Ventura County Line. I wonder if there's a bus to Ventura that runs today.

     11:30am  Turns out there is no bus on Saturdays. I asked the kid working at the gas station at Thousand Oaks Blvd and Westlake Blvd. His greedy ass told me I couldn't ask for rides. I lost the Ventura sign I made in Malibu so I went to the dumpster behind the gas station and made a new signs. "Ventura Please."

     1:18pm  I got tired of sitting there with my sign. I got the idea to either call Carol or Sean. Sean said no. Carol said yes! Here I am sitting in front of the fountain in front of the Ethan Allen waiting for Carol.

     2:59pm  About an hour ago Carol and Travis showed up. We came to the Vons on Seaward. Carol needs to make a withdrawal from our "bank." Hehe.

Next day..
