San Angelo to Sterling City to Midland to Warfield Truck Terminal

Wednesday May 7, 2003

     6:00am  Woke up at Salvation Army, took a shit and got all my stuff together.

     7:40am  Walked over to the Greyhound station just to talk to people.

     8:00am  I talked to a Coach USA driver.

     8:16am  I met this cute black girl Remy who told me she had been kidnapped by a pimp in Phoenix and she got away from him in Texas and is now trying to make her way back home. She said the guy who dropped her off at the bus station said he would be back today with some bus fare for her. He hasn't shown up yet.

     8:30am  Walked to Christians in Action with Remy. They're closed until five.

     8:45am  We came back to the Greyhound and Remy hooked me up with a Fruitopia/Coke/Hennessey mixed drink.

     9:16am  Came back to CIA and talking to Richard Bradley. I was telling him about how I had been kidnapped at gunpoint and stuff. He told me to go to the law library at the courthouse and look in the Texas Legal Directory Blue Book for a listing of lawyers.

     9:47am  Christians in Action told me no about a bus ticket.

     10:32am  Weighed myself at the bus station with gear. 230lbs.

     11:20am  I called Joel Wood from Firestone. I still have his business card in my wallet. Joel is the guy who hooked me up with bus fare from San Francisco all the way back to San Antonio. I hit him up for some money for a bus ticket, but he said no.

     11:47am  I talked to some cab driver.

     11:57am  We came to some bus stop.

     12:10pm  Oh yeah, this morning I realized my pocket calendar with all my email addresses was missing! I went back to the library and luckily they had it in the lost and found.

     2:03pm  Vance gave me and Remy a ride.

     3:10pm  We're at the state university.

     4:15pm  I went in and told my stories at some cool shop. This dude Victor said he'd give us a ride some ways. He even stopped by the ATM and gave me ten dollars!

     5:20pm  Victor dropped me and Remy off in Sterling City.

                   Remy actually said she'd walk the highway with me. We're walking on 158.

     6:51pm  Rested and ate.

     7:22pm  Remy changed her tampon. Good thing I always carry toilet paper.

     7:54pm  We were just walking and Deputy Neal picked us up.

     8:20pm  Talked to Jason at the Fina.

                   Keith gave us a ride to Midland in his van. Remy told me about some truckstop she knows we can get rides at.

     9:52pm  Midland Town and Country gas station.

     10:06pm  I scored Remy and I some food at the Whataburger with my line.
 
     10:15pm  My receipt said I was #1, hehe.

     10:40pm  Remy freaked out and she called the cops.

     10:54pm  Officer B. Cano called Crisis Intervention.

     11:45pm  Tony and Dalia took us to Warfield Truck Terminal. Haha, I told Tony and Dalia about my plan and they agreed with everything I said. They're weed-smokers too. Tony asked me, "How do you get weed?" I told him, "Man, what's the point in having it if you don't share it?" He laughed and said, "Yes, I am sure to share it with my wife." Haha, these government-paid people smoke weed! See!

Next day..
