Good news!
Sunday was a hot and humid day. Sunday night was very warm and humid. Monday started out the same. Jassy and Clayton showed up about noon Monday. He had a second interview for that job. Jassy a...
A bit of busyness.
I have no idea when I posted my last entry. Prosebox says six days ago. Not much help when I can rarely recall what day of the week it is on any given day. I finished two books: "Call Me Burrou...
A conversation.
After several months of not hearing anything from her, Francilynn found me online last night. She wanted a favor but wouldn't say what. Whatever. She found me online again tonight. I finally fou...
Been awhile.
I finished Book 9 of Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series. I'm halfway through a biography of William Burroughs. A very troubled man he was, but a freaking genius. I'm still living out of the van, s...
Being the "Grey Man". Fail.
It's a given fact that most law enforcement personnel I've ever encountered have been basically assholes. The two city cops that came with flashlights and then a knock on the window when I though...
The truth.
“A man who looks forward to Spring is looking forward to his own death,” da Vinci wrote in a notebook, but in the US today, there are millions who can't wait until they're close enough to death, ...
Spring?
I guess it has been a week. Last Sunday thru Tuesday afternoons I spent over at the student union. Tuesday Angela found me over there. She had just returned from her spring break at Disney World...
Where to next?
Phone is on, again.
Yep, after nearly a week of gorgeous weather they're predicting, after tonight, four nights down into the twenties. I may have stashed the goosedown bag a little early. Mom sent me a phone card...
35 hours.
Saturday was another beautiful day for lounging in the van with a book. It warmed up to 80 degrees by dusk. It was 59 degrees in the van at midnight. I crawled into my summer bag with the same ...
Snow coming?
I finished reading "Out of Time" by Lynne Segal right at dusk. The van had warmed up to a very nice 82 degrees. It has been a very nice two days, weather-wise. So of course they're predicting a...

What day is it?
I found the latest two episodes of Grey's Anatomy on megashare.info last night. I'm still waiting on season four of The Game of Thrones. It was 64 degrees in the van last night at midnight. It w...
What a mess!
Last night at midnight it was 60 degrees in the van. Needless to say, I pulled the goosedown sleeping bag off the bed and crawled into my summer bag. And with the subtraction of three layers from...
Feels like Spring!
Damn, I'm proud of myself. I was up and dressed, finished with my bowl of cereal, and out of the van by 9:30am. Which, with the return to regular time is really 8:30am. I walked downtown to the...
35 hours.
Friday night at midnight it was 50 degrees in the van. I woke up to rain and 47 degrees at 6:30am. I had forgot to get cereal on that last grocery run so I just slurped some milk and went back to...
Two books read.
That last little blast of Winter seems to be over. Thursday, Friday and Saturday were pretty mild days. Mild enough to swap out my goosedown coat for my windbreaker and to go for a shave, shampoo...
Another walk.
I woke up this morning without a cold. Maybe sleeping in 17 degree air is a cold cure? I have no idea. Anyway, I was up and dressed and out of the van by 11am. It wasn't as bad as predicted. Clea...
Caught a bug?
After that one whole week of warmer temperatures Winter is back. Cold and wet sloppiness on the way. I finished reading "House of Sand and Fog" by Andre Dubus III this evening. I've got one mor...
Last warm day?
It was 43 degrees in the van last night at midnight. I crawled into my goosedown sleeping bag, but I did pull the pillow out and place it on top of the hood. Too warm for the hood of the sleeping...
The van lays an egg?
The woman here at Hardee's, her name is Jackie (I had to ask when I first came in tonight), just came over to my table and said she had just refused to serve someone at the drive-thru window. It ...
Bad, bad news.
Last night it was 54 degrees in the van at midnight. I pulled the goosedown sleeping bag off the bed and crawled into my summer sleeping bag. A very good nights sleep. I believe the wounds left f...
Picking scabs.
I've been picking scabs again. Lying in bed at the end of another day just like all the other days. Scenes from the past replaying in my mind. Pick that scab. Some are thick like the ones on yout...
A bit of warmth.
Another couple of days over at the student union with Walt Whitman on the kindle. I had found a 8.5oz can of peas. Not really sure how long it had been in the van before it came rolling out of w...
99 years?
Just when I've got the wheels greased and not squeaking I hit a fucking pothole. Yep, the student union will be closed from 5pm Friday until 4pm Monday. But . . . it just may be warm enough to lo...
