Mathews to Fredericksburg, VA

Sunday May 18, 2008

     6:40am  I woke up about ten minutes ago with eight hours of sleep.

     9:05am  I forgot to tell you, Laura and I went out for a walk together. We're going to go visit her dead father's grave. She's going to talk to him and then we're going to take off to go North. I am aiming for Morgantown, WV now. We just came to the Ruritan Club to use the restroom. They're having a big auction here. I'm going to go to the bathroom and take a shit right now.
                  
     3:31pm  I am having a really disheartening time with Laura right now. She's just ultra-convinced that black people stole her stuff out of her barn. She's convinced to hell that she knows exactly who did it. She turned racist on me. She just kept going on about it. I walked out of the trailer. I told her I didn't want to hear it. She's all riled up yelling nigger this, nigger that. She said, "There's six million people in Africa with Aids, and it's all because the black guys won't stop fucking women. They tell them no, but they just keep going! The black man gave his whole culture Aids!" She kept saying they, they, they. Ugh, it just goes to show how little, she thinks she knows so much, but she still has much to learn. I can't believe she's like this. I am dumbfounded.

                   She just yelled and stormed off right now saying, "I can't change the world!" When she comes back I'm going to tell her, "It's because you don't see the world as it is. You don't know where the bars of the cage are. People don't see the world as it is, but as they are."

                   She's all paranoid because she can't lock her shed when we leave. She's scared the niggers will steal the rest of her shit. Which is all junk. She's worried black people are going to steal her half-ton bed antique bed frame. Ugh, Laura can be a wingnut sometimes.

                   Lots of random trailer shots.

     4:18pm  We are finally leaving. Headed up North. We finally got everything packed up. The barn is secure. Well, as secure as we can make it. I took pictures.

     4:56pm  We just stopped at the Quarrels gas station on the way to Saluda. This cop pulled up behind us. He didn't pull us over because we stopped at a gas station. He talked to Laura and was wondering why she had two license plates. Alright, I'm all resinated.

     7:08pm  We have arrived in Fredericksburg, VA. We're going to Laura's friend Deborah's. She's an actress and a house-cleaner. We're going to go visit her and see if I freak her out, hehe. We just passed the security gate in front of Deborah's neighborhood. It's a beautiful neighborhood.

     7:59pm  I just got done trying to tell Deborah my story. She's lived in Virginia her whole life. Her family is related to the signers of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. See, right before I got to the marijuana part she stopped me and said, "I have to tell you that my attention is waiting for a call right now." I even told her, "I will accept half of your attention span if I can continue with my story." She probably thinks I'm nuts. Laura and I are leaving tomorrow. I'm going to be able to take a shower and do my laundry here. Right now I'm trying to fish out my shorts so I can do my laundry. My pack is on the bottom of everything.

Next day..
