*** Okay, there's some confusion here***

     9:59am  I left my sign-flying spot. There's competition.

                   This one guy asked me how much money I make doing this. I told him I didn't do it for the money, check out my website.

     10:17am  Tammy just gave me two dollars. I appreciate it, Tammy.

                     Tammy was really beautiful. I wish I could've taken her picture.

                     Tim just pulled over and hooked me up with a dollar.

     10:39am  This guy just gave me a dollar. He said, "I'll give you a dollar for your shirt." 351-7679

     11:30am  I've got thirty eight bucks. I had made like ten more dollars in dollar bills. It started raining so I stopped and put my rainsuit on.

     11:55am  I got on the 55 bus. It's raining hard like a monsoon. I'm going to the Greyhound station now with a little bit less than forty bucks.

     12:15pm  I didn't tell you. About five minutes ago I got off on Canal Street. I'm waiting for the train.

                     I forgot to mention I got a little treat on the way to the Greyhound station. Public library! Ugh, they actually charged me three bucks for a guestpass to check my email. I'm going to go smoke a cigarette outside. My special cigarette too.

     1:05pm  I just got out of the library. I had an awesome internet session. I had tons of emails from people, lots of replies. People have seen me on the street. I got some more guestbook entries. It's raining so I donned my rainsuit and I'm walking again. I'm kind of hungry. I have to eat something. I have four bucks left after I bought my bus ticket. I'm going to Biloxi, Mississippi. I'd be skipping a whole state if I went to Mobile. Plus, a bus ticket to Biloxi is cheaper than to Mobile, so I can buy some food. Let me see how much I got. Thirteen dollars.

      3:18pm  I went and spent $7.33 and bought me a big classic ranch chicken Subway sandwich footlong sub. I ate half of it and I'm saving the rest for later. I came outside the Greyhound station and took a couple hits of weed. I'm going to go back inside. I'm going to go find someone to tell my story to, yeah.

      6:15pm  Leaving on the bus going towards Biloxi.

      8:34pm  I am in Biloxi.

      8:49pm  I layered up at the Greyhound station and I'm moving. I'm at Raynor and Ester Blvd. Umm, I'm going to go look for a bridge to sleep under. I am tired. If I got to bed this early I'll wake up before it's light outside. There's a highway.

                    Beau Rivage Hotel.

      9:26pm  Guess what? I am already situated in my Katrina house for the night. That hurricane is really helping me out, hehe. Like less than a block away from the Greyhound station I find a house to crash in. I just stepped in through a window. Just like last night.  I took pictures.

 

Next day..
