     9:54am  I should make an update by now. I just got back about half an hour ago. This morning, I got enough sleep I guess. Around midnight last night some guy came over. He opened the front door with a key and saw me on the floor. He told me, "You're still here? I was going to come by and stay here for Rene." I told him there was plenty of room, but he said he had his own apartment. I went back to sleep. I'm having trouble getting to sleep. It's because I keep smoking weed, hehe. I magically woke up at 4:20 and smoked some weed just to celebrate. I crashed out again until around six or so. The construction guys woke me up. All I've had to eat was a couple bites of raw Ramen. I'm going to go into town this morning and try and locate some free food and then I'll go to the college and type. I ate the other ganja chocolate I had. I'm all stoned. I've got some weed too. Yesterday it was awesome how I was spreading my word on the corner and was able to buy a nickel sack right there. I am really loving Sacramento a lot. I'm walking to the light rail today. I don't know if I'll pay fare or not. I'll take a ticket. I've got my lines rehearsed for them.

                   "Just think of all the empty seats being chauffeured around out there."

                   "If you're not part of the cure you are part of the disease."

                   On the way up here some kids at the bus stop saw my shirt and said, "Hey, we like your shirt." I gave them my website.

     10:25am  I just got me a ticket for not paying fare, haha. It was only a matter of time. I am never going to pay that ticket. I am collecting them, hehe. Berkely, San Jose and now Sacramento.

                     My court date is 6-22, but I am sure I can get another extension, haha.

     10:50am  I'll be out of California soon anyway. I still have about two months for my other ones. I just hopped on the train again. I've been directed to Fish and Loaves, for a bum feed. I don't give a shit. I don't even care if I get another ticket, or another or another. I am walking to Fish and Loaves now to go eat. I'll see if I can take any food with me than I'll go type at the college.

     12:03pm  These ignorant bible thumpers at the Fish and Loaves. I tried to tell them my story and they said they were going to listen, but they just wouldn't shut up. Man, nobody wants world peace! Not even these Christians. I was just testing them anyway.

     1:42pm  I should tell you what's happened. I should be more descriptive. I went to Fish and Loaves. I don't want to take pictures of the place right now because of all the homebums. I don't need any coming up to me and thinking I stole their souls. There's about a hundred homebums crowded into this day center here. They start feeding at 11:30am. The number I got was 557, so they told me it would be around 12:30 for me. I did have a couple presentations. They have a library here, so first thing I'm thinking is a typing resource. After lunch it was open so I went in and asked if they had a computer I could use. They had these ancient Macintoshes that didn't have USB drives, so forget it.

     2:08pm  I got off the bus at City College. I'm going to go do some typing. I was able to save a big chunk of red salmon for lunch, for later. Some mini-packs of KitKats too.

                   Terminal by scanner, inside, snuck a picture

                   After I finished at the library I came outside and met Jim. He listened to my story and then we came upstairs so he could roll me a cigarette. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit.

                   Did I ever tell you I figured out a new way to carry my CamelBak to where it hangs from my backpack? Before I would just wear it over my pack, but every time I bent over it would leak all over my neck. Now I figured it out how I could have it hanging off of my bag and I won't get wet.

     6:07pm  I'm out here waiting for the light rail at the college. These college kids sold me a cigarette for a quarter. They saw my shirt and they're going to smoke a brother out, for the cause. One of them was rolling a blunt right there and they let me take a hit before their train came.

     7:38pm  I should make an update by now.

Next day..
