Friday March 9, 2024 

    Today I went flying my sign and I walked back and forth in the median where all the cars turn left onto Briggs.  I had never tried there, but today it was hopping with hookups and smokeouts!  On the first lineup this dude in a Mercedes gave me a twenty!

5:09pm  NKVZ237  This cool dude in a silver Mercedes just hooked me up with a twenty dollar bill!  Fuck yeah!

6:08pm  We had a very nice time.  Take it from here, Tita.

Tita:  So yeah!  My EBT card got shut off because there was a form that I didn't submit.  We decided to go to the Stanworks office over on Hackett.  So we drove all the way out over there.  We stayed about an hour and I submitted the forms.

Victor:  I went out to the smoking area outside and handed out my blog a couple of times.  A lot of people complimented my shirt inside too.  I put my blog tapes all over the parking lot.  On poles and stuff.  I spammed the government office, haha

Tita:  And then we went to this taco truck.  I had fish and Victor had a shrimp quesadilla.  It was really good and fresh.  Then we made our way to the usual spot in front of the Jack in the Box.  This time after only a few minute, seeing how there was very little traffic piling up at the light, this was at about 4:45 or so.  After not even five minutes Victor was ready to give up.  I was like, dude, what about the meridian where I've seen plenty of bums bumming.  He was like, okay, but let me go by myself.  So he went and I didn't know where to go.  I kind of wanted to keep my eye on him, because now there was some weird people out there.  I sat down right in front of Jack in the Box and just kind of mellowed out watching Victor.  A little sungazing while it was going down.  I could tell right away that Victor was being successful.  On every lineup probably two people were hooking him up or smoking him out.  He was passing out his blog like crazy.  He ended up doing that for half an hour only and he had $37.

Victor:  It was so rad.  On the first pileup this dude in a silver Mercedes SLK gave me a twenty!  I even got his license number.  This Mexican dude.  That was in like five minutes.  It was all good.

Tita:  It was pretty amazing.  That was a lot of money in such a little time.  And good spreading of his website.  

Victor:  It was weird, a couple people refused my blog after giving me money.  

Tita:  We were still thirsty because there was no aguas frescas at the taco truck, so drove down Floyd and stopped at Yogurt Mill and got ourselves a cold Cappuccino.  

Victor:  Oh yeah, also like on the second lineup these cool Mexican dudes saw my sign, rolled down the window and gave me green-hits on a freshly packed bowl!  I had to stick my head in the car to get it lit.  After I took a hit I tried to pass but the cool dude was all, "Keep hitting it until the light turns green."  I was like, "I just need one hit, check out my blog."  They were all smiles.  Like three Mexican dudes.  When I walked off I noticed I had taken their lighter.  I walked back up to the car and gave it back.  The dude was all, "Do you need it?"  I grabbed my lighter hanging off my lighter-leash and told him, "Nahhhhhhh."  They were like, badass.  :]  

Tita: You also got a couple of nugs.

Victor:  A little bit of weed, but Tita has been wanting money lately, so here you go.

Tita:  Victor did great.  And as you know every month we get backed up on the bills.  Oh, another thing that happened is that I called out local Catholic church, the one I used to take my dad to all the time, and they are going to pay two hundred dollars of our water bill, which is like six hundred bucks.  So that will be cool.

Victor:  It will get all worked out.

Tita:  It will, it's just a question of when the house will be sold and who it will get sold to.  That's another subject.  On the way back we got a cappuccino.  It was really good, bitter.  We came back home and we are all happy and chit-chatting.  I took the dog outside and came back in the kitchen.  All of a sudden as Victor is talking to me I hear the honk, honk, honk.  Sure enough, I said, "Victor, I think that' the Helotero!  Victor ran outside and yelled at him and he came back!  So we are munching on some delicious, spicy Mexican corn with mayonnaise and hot pepper!  So we had a nice day.  We were lucky when we just went out instead of just staying home doing nothing.  

Victor:  I even struck up a conversation with him in Spanish!  As he was expertly making our corn delight I commented, "¿Eso parace que es una abilidad que to enseño tu padre, verdad?  Y el padre de el, y el padre de el, etc., verdad?  He told me yes, exactly, his father in Mexico had taught him.  

Tita:  Wow, he is a fourth generation helotero.  

Victor:  It must be nice to have a father to learn from.

Tita:  You told him that?

Victor:  No, but I am saying it now.  Haha, fuck you, Frank.

Tita:  We had a really good outing.  We got a lot done.  Business and fun.
