     11:00am  I woke up about six. We crashed in the car in the Flying J parking lot. Last night I didn't tell my story that much at the truckstop. All the people at the Flying J were hick truckers and wouldn't listen to me. This one guy from Holland did listen to me. He told me, "That shit has been legal in Holland for a long time." So I asked him, "Hmm, so how's the crimerate there?"

                     Carol's inside the store getting some coffee and looking at maps. Oh yeah, we have to go to the county jail where I went the other day.

                     Chad in front of the justice center here, not only is he listening to my story, but he volunteered me a cigarette. I appreciate it, Chad. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

                     What was your name, again? I'm talking to Chad telling him my story in front of the justice center here in Barstow. He recommends Richard Branson. Chad: "He's a billionaire. This guy try to fly his balloon around the world a few times. You've never heard of him? Look him up, dude. He's a huge activist and he has tons of money and he is all about trying to save the world too." Excellent, I should email him.

     11:30am  We stopped at some gas station in Los Angeles somewhere. Carol had to take a piss real bad. Roscoe and Sunland Boulevard.

     12:00pm  I forgot to tell you. We're in Venice Beach. We're going to go look for Sueño.

     12:41pm  Oh yeah, we stopped at some gas station on Lincoln. I couldn't remember the gas station where I had stopped, where Sueño couldn't possibly gotten out. I had to research my tapes and it was off Washintgton Boulevard. We're going to drive down there and look for Sueño. It was awesome how I was able to look it up. I totally couldn't remember. Please Love, please Saint Anthony help us find Sueño.
                  
     4:53pm  We never found Sueño and we drove back up to Ventura. Carol: "We just drove from LA. It sucks because we couldn't find Sueño. Victor and I kind of got a little mad at each other. I guess we didn't deserve to take it out on each other. It's no one's fault that Sueño jumped out of the car, except for his own. We just miss him really bad. We went to the Channel Islands Ralph's and got ten bucks. It's our bank, hehe. The Ralph's bank. I scammed ten dollars which was enough for weed. We got off the freeway and got ice for the ice chest for free at the Casa Sirena. Now we are at the Seaward Chevron spanging for gas. We've gotten like ten gallons already. This nice guy filled us all the way up and just came over and gave us ten dollars.

     9:06pm  Yet another attempt at breaking up with Carol. I up and told her, "Being in a relationship with you is impeding my freedom, which is impeding my happiness. I need to stay happy to do this mission. I tell everybody I'm the happiest man in the world, but I'm not with you." She was in total denial saying, "You know you love me. You love me." I told her, "I love my mission so much more than you. I love you like a small speck compared to how much I love my mission." She's in total denial. She doesn't want to break up. I am ready to leave already. At least I'm going to get a ride up to Arcata before, hehe.

Next day..
