Silver City, NM

Tuesday November 9, 2004

     6:30am  I just woke up. I had a good night's sleep. I slept a lot.

     9:08am  I'm helping Jesse clean up his place. Right now I'm going to go get water for him. His water isn't turned on. I'm going to take before 

                   and after 

pictures.

                   Here's another picture 

                    of his place.

     9:54am  I just left Jesse's.

     10:24am  I was walking and I came across this creek that runs parallel to Bullard. I walked it until it kept going and wasn't a park anymore. I walked it all the way to Bennett and 11th Street. I'm going to sit down and smoke a cigarette.

     10:32am  I went in some barber shop and asked for a free haircut. He told me no. I called him a greedy ass.

     10:35am  I'm going to hit up Burger Time. Old Fashioned Hamburgers. Near Hudson Street.

     10:37am  No-go at the burger place. They failed. Greedy asses. Lemme try Whataburger.

     10:39am  No-go at the Whataburger. Greedy asses, hehe.

                      I am making my presence known. That's the point. I'm not even going to try at the Sonic. I can wait until lunch at twelve.

     11:03am  I went to the Silver Shamrock and the Snappy Mart and tried to bum up some change for a snack and nobody gave me anything. Screw it, it's almost noon. I got an hour wait to eat at the mission. Oh, I see an army store. I'm going to walk in there.

                     It's so cool how I got a big taste of civilization here in Silver City. Thanks to Jesse.

                     That's the coolest bumper sticker. "Jesus, protect me from your followers."

     12:00pm  I came in the thrift store here. They haven't opened the gate to go eat. I looked around and went up to the guy working there. I asked him, "Hey, do you remember seeing any sweatpants?" He got all snotty and told me, "We don't keep inventory. Whatever is out there is what we have."

     12:19pm  Mimi me dio leche. Para que yo no me tuve que parar. Te lo agradezco.

     8:12pm  I'm leaving. I didn't do much today after lunch. I just sat around and smoked some resin. I rested my feet. I'm hungry now, so I'm going to go get some spare change for a snack.

     8:54pm  I just blew this girl Lindsay's mind at the Snappy Mart. I'm going to go in the Snappy Mart and see if I can get some food. I'm hungry.

     9:06pm  AK is hooking me up with some pizza at the Dominos. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

                   Sweet! I had totally given up on scoring food and started walking back to Jesse's. I scored me two slices of pizza at the Dominos! Thank you, Love. I'm going to walk back to Jesse's now.

     10:03pm  I remember yesterday I took before and after pictures of Jesse's house. Jesse has this USA Today headline from 2003 displayed. The front page says, "Baghdad falls." It has a picture of a statue of Saddam Hussein being toppled. It's pretty funny because I don't ever remember Baghdad falling. Maybe the frontline should've read, "Saddam Hussein statue in Baghdad falls."

     10:44pm  I just finished counting all the cities I've been to on my list. To start with I had thirteen cities and towns in Texas. Twenty in New Mexico. Seven in Colorado. Six in Utah. Two in Nevada. Six in Oregon. A whopping thirty five in California. Five in Arizona and two in New Mexico again so far.

                     Grand total of ninety six so far. Let's see if I can hit a hundred before I get back to San Antone.

Next day..
