Ventura to Carpenteria to Santa Barbara to Santa Maria, CA
Friday February 9, 2007
7:16am I haven't been making too many entries. I've been up and down. I still get the strong urge to leave Carol. I tried yesterday, but I can't go for some reason. She's got this hold on me. I just want to leave. I told her we would try and make this work, but to me trying was not leaving. She thinks I should put more effort than that, that I'm not a man of my word. I'm all confused now. I mean, wouldn't she feel like shit if the world died? Damnit, I don't know what to do. I told her that I would go up with her North. We're going to go to Klamath in two weeks and then I'm out of here. That's the agreement. I'm going to go on my solo-trip and I don't know if I'm going to come back or not.
Right now we are packing to leave. Packing the car. We tore down our tent and everything. The radiator is still kicking ass since that night we got in the wreck. Travis nigga-rigged it good, dude. He patched it with crazy glue. How resourceful we are. I want to see how long it'll hold. Alright.
10:05am We came to Christian Charities in Ventura to see about help getting glasses. They ended up only helping with prescriptions, not glasses. Right when we got to Christian Charities we asked the guy Chris if he knew of any place to get glasses. All of a sudden this other lady that was there said she knew of a place. She told me to go to a church called Place of Rest, which sounds more like a cemetery name. We're going to go there and look through their glasses bin.
2:21pm I haven't been making entries lately because I am all bummed out here and there. Make an entry for me, Carol. Carol: "No." How about you, Travis?" Travis: "Whatever time Victor said it was. We pulled up to Quan's in front of River Haven to hook up Ethan. Right before we got to the turnaround some random dude pulled up behind us. He came up to the car all sketchball and asked us if we had any bud for sale. I think he recognized Victor because he said Victor had kicked him down a nugget before. We totally told that random dude we couldn't help him at all." Carol: "How did he recognize Victor? He was in a car behind us. It was weird. He kept pressing the issue after we said no, which was also weird. It made me feel uncomfortable." I think he saw you grab the bag off my lap when he came up. Carol's as paranoid as Skylar from Boulder, hehe. Skeeter. Well okay, I should stop wasting tape now.
3:55pm We're not sure where we're going to crash. Carol went in the IHOP in Carpinteria and grabbed some coupon book. We figured we'd go to some place from there. The Rose Garden Inn for $39.99. They got a pool and spa and it's not too far from Solvang, where I've gone before(10-15-06-12:20pm). I'll put a link to it if I was logging back then. I barely log any more. Anyway, Carol is out hustling her gas. I'm not doing anything. Alright. Over and out.
5:30pm We were driving up from Ventura and Carol had told me earlier that we were going to stop at the weed store in Santa Barbara to get some hash. We had totally forgotten about it. When we were coming into Santa Barbara at the Bath exit I reminded Carol, "Weren't you going to get hash?" She said, "Oh yeah, lets stop there." Right when we pull into Santa Barbara we see Si and Amy flying signs on the onramp. You guys remember Si and Amy(12-14-06-2:43pm), right? Actually, we just saw Amy. She asked us if we had room for two people. We told her sure. Carol told her that she was going to go to the weed store, that she would be right back. We took forever at the weed store and then the car overheated while we were waiting for Carol. I had to hike back to the Pep Boys on State Street and buy some coolant. I shoplifted a funnel, but it's too big. We put some coolant in the car and it seems to be running fine with coolant and not just water. It was overheating earlier. Now we are on way up North to Santa Maria. We're going to go stay at the hotel that I mentioned earlier.
I want a cigarette. Carol threw away my rolling papers.
