Barstow to Ontario to Simi Valley to Ventura, CA

Friday October 13, 2006
                  
     2:52am  I am in Barstow now. I stopped at the Valero. I'm going to go ask them where the county jail is.

                   Oh yeah, I went to the police station and picked up the phone. It was after-hours. She told me I had to go to the sheriff's department across the street.

     3:23am  Guess what. Carol got released yesterday. In Rancho Cucamonga. I don't know where that is. I'm going to go ask around. Where the hell is she? I have to go check my email. Where am I going to check my email at four in the morning? I have to go to Rancho Cucamonga.

     3:30am  I am stopping at the TA truck stop to ask directions.

     3:35am  I have about seventy five more miles to go. To the 15 and 215 to get to Rancho Cucamonga.

     4:53am  I just got to the same TA truck stop I've been to before in Ontario(12-3-03). I'm right in Rancho Cucamonga. I'm going to go use the Internet at the truck stop.

     5:40am  Man, fuck LA! Fuck the TA! I went in there and asked them, "How do I work the Internet kiosk?" I needed a login and a password. I went and I asked the stupid bitch at the counter and she said I needed to buy a daypass. I was thinking I just need to check my email, that's it. She told me I still had to buy a daypass for five dollars. That that was the only way you could do it. I spent the five dollars and bought a daypass. I still couldn't get it to to work and the idiots working there couldn't figure it out either. I grabbed my receipt and asked to talk to a manager, that I wanted my five dollars back. The idiot manager told me, "Oh no, we can't do that. All sales are final." I told them, "This doesn't work. You sold me something that doesn't work. It doesn't go to it. I need like a PIN number and it's not on the receipt. What the hell?" Then I called the customer service number on the receipt, only for them to tell me they don't support kiosks, that it was for laptops. The bitch sold me the wrong thing.

                   God damn, what a wild goose chase I am on. I made it to the West Valley Detention Center. Nobody could tell me shit.

                   I10 towards LA to Holt and take a right on Cherry Street. Big library he said, the guy sitting outside with the sheriff's hat.

     6:51am  I followed the guy's directions. Holt to Cherry and I turned right. I think this is the library. I don't know. It says opening this fall.

     7:03am  I finally made it to the library. The Ontario City Library. It doesn't open until eight, I think.

                   Damnit, the library doesn't open until ten. Three more hours. What am I going to do for three hours?

     7:50am  I scraped a couple good resin hits. I'm all stoned now so I'm going to tell my story to somebody. There's lots of people at the bus stop.

     8:15am  Dave hooked me up with a cigarette. What street is this? Sultana.

     9:28am  I went to the market and took a shit. Right when I get out this lady runs up to me and asks me, "Hey, will you give me a ride?" Really surprised I told her, "Yeah, sure." She said, "There's an energy about you." Some older lady that I gave her a ride where she needed to go. I'm going to go find somebody to tell my story to. I've got half an hour to kill until the library opens. Man, I hope Carol emailed me already.

     10:00am  I'm out here in front of the library waiting for it to open.

     11:02am  I finally got to check my email and Carol wrote me a bunch of times:

So here is what happened, I was sleeping after you went for a walk to the Casa Serina and the Oxnard Police knocked on the window, at first I thought it was you playing with me. They asked to see my ID.and I figured I had no warrants so it was ok. They pulled up a traffic ticket warrant out of San Bernedino CA for a 2 yr old citation that I took care of a long time ago, apparently it didn't get taken care of because they arrested me and would not even let me leave you a note. I have been through hell. This has been the worst experience of my life, I haven't eaten or slept in 6 days. I was so worried about you and Sueno. I hope everything is ok. I miss you so much. I know that you are tired of me and want to go back out on your own. I totally understand. I want to get out of here myself. I want to go to Eureka Ca. or Arcadia near San Francisco. This place sucks! Where I am is so Babylon. I am all alone and scared out of my mind. Please please come get me. then we can go our separate ways. I had a few days to think things over and I would like to be able to talk to you if possible. I am stranded here so please e-mail me back.
Love carol

Hey Baby,
I have new and good news.....This girl I met in jail, Heather and her boyfriend Gaven are coming to pick me up right now! She lives in Simi Valley which is like 15 mins from where you are (or were last time I saw you). I want you to know that no matter what happens I love you and always will, even if we break up. This place reminds me of San Antonio. I took the bus "it is my friend" to the library. the buses are the same as SA. Thanks to you and all that you taught me I will be ok. I have decided, in jail, that no matter what happens I want to read your entire story. I told so many people about your web page in jail. I made up my own story to go along with yours. I tell it now. I would like to publish it along with yours if you let me. Can I have a Carol's page on the site? I also decided that we were going about this whole thing a little wrong. i do not want to do that public assistance money any more. I want to walk and tell my story of how I met you and what has happened to me. This experience in jail changed me. it was a wake up call, it was so bad Victor, I can not even tell you. I realized that I don't want to stay in one place, so after I drive to Nor cal I plan to sell Sue Boo. I want to tell your story with my version and walk like you. I had no idea how happy I was doing that and flying your sign with you. I still think you are one of the greatest people I have ever known. I will always love you. Hopefully you were worried about me and called the jail to find out what happened to me and you have Sueno. All my stuff is in the car, baby, my backpack and everything. I will need that stuff. You can reach me @ 805-584-2441 or if that doesn't work cause they are moving their cell is 619-822-4489. I love you please call. I will stay there till you call or e-mail me.

Carol (your little dreaddy mamma and hopefully still partner)
PS
these guys have weed so call me.

Well I guess we missed each other again. I am sitting at the Simi Valley Libarary. They didn't open till 1pm so I rode the bus around till 2pm and now I'm here. I haven't slept either.I spent the night at Heather's and Gaven's. They are moving so they stayed up all night packing. We drove to Ojai last night looking for you @ Foster Park and then the harbor. I walked the harbor looking for you everywhere. I called the police and the sheriff just in case something happened to you. I am so sorry about Sueno. Hope you get here soon. We will talk then I love you.
Carol

                   I'm going to go see where she's at.

     1:24pm  John is going to hook me up with some gas because I smoke weed, hehe.

     1:36pm  Alexis is being nice enough to give me some gas so I can get to Simi Valley. I appreciate it, Alexis.

     1:59pm  At long last I am at the library in Simi Valley.

     11:31pm  Oh man, I have to make an update. I reunited with Carol earlier. I ended up at the library finally. Carol and I drove to Foster Park and we're going to crash and dash. Just like old times. We miss Sueño.

Next day..
