7:45am I got a whopping nine hours of sleep last night in my room.
9:09am I woke up and I noticed that Alex was up. I had seen his truck drive in. I walked over to the 5th wheel and they were watching Star Wars. I’m supposed to mow this grass at his vacant tire shop in Wickett, seven miles down the highway. I want to know when I’ll be able to get to Fort Stockton.
Alex told me to restack all the tires behind the shop.
These military pants Janie gave me in Bellingham. I hadn’t worn them once since I got them. I never needed to. I left them in the laundry room at the Pilot truckstop for somebody else to have. They were just weighing me down. I minimized. Travel light.
Shit, my tape recorder is fucking up. I’m glad I’m almost home.
12:51pm I actually dozed back off in the trailer. I can’t believe it after all that sleep I got last night. I saw that Alex was back. He had me drive him to the Alco on the other side of the highway to look for a phone charger. He decided to get a new cellphone instead so we drove into Monahans to the Verizon Wireless place. He needs a new cellphone. The one he has is all beat up.
I didn’t tell you, I walked into town. I’m going to try and get some weed somehow.
5:06pm I came to the Sonic. I didn’t even ask, but Wendy saw my shirt and liked it. I gave her my website and she’s hooking me up with some food,. I appreciate it, Wendy. I’ve got plenty of water. Thanks anyway.
5:22pm I have this magical update to make. I went to the Sonic and Wendy drove me to and introduced me to Beth, the coolest person in Monahans. Welcome to Monahans. I followed through. I found the marijuana in this town, Beth is smoking me out. I appreciate it, Beth, Everybody gets credit. Thanks a lot.
6:18pm It’s about time I made another update. I should be a little more descriptive. I am loving this adventure I’m on. See, I went on a bigass walk down Main Street. I walked to this store at the end of it. I put my bag down and rolled a cigarette. I saw this chick with a stroller and a baby. She saw my shirt and liked it. I asked her if she knew where I could find some ‘world peace’ in this town. She said she knew a guy who sold. She gave me directions, but I couldn’t find it. I just started walking through the neighborhood looking to find somebody who looked cool and ask them if they know where I can find some world peace. I saw this black dude up ahead wearing a trench coat and started walking towards him. I was walking through alleys and stuff. I finally caught up with him and asked him if he knew where I could find some world peace. He laughed at my shirt and told me no. He told me I should be careful in this town.
Then I saw this other black dude walking wearing a Sonic uniform. I asked him and he told me to go ask around at the Sonic. I walked to the Sonic and saw Wendy. When I walked up to give her my website she asks me, “Do you need a hookup?” I assumed she was talking about food so I told her, “Sure, some gasoline for my stomach.” She went inside and got me a box of chicken strips! I asked her if she knew where I could find any world peace and she told me, “That’s what I meant, do you need a hookup?” I told her that’s exactly what I needed. She drove me to Beth’s house. Wendy. Beth has MS and smokes weed all the time. She’s an older lady. She had a water pipe devised from a twenty ounce plastic Coke bottle. She smoked me out hardcore. I took three big hits.
See, before we got to Beth's I had heard Wendy talking on the phone calling around for weed. I heard her mention ten dollars. I tried telling Beth my story, but it wasn’t easy. I eventually pulled out my ten dollars and Beth gets offended saying she doesn’t sell. Man, she had a big bag of weed right there and she can’t sell me any of it? She said she doesn’t sell, that she’d just smoke with me. Wendy had said she would give me a ride to the tire shop since it was raining, but I told her I would walk it, I’ve got my rain pants and poncho.
