Day 6 – A New Character

I picked up my dog from the Vet today. I had to carry him because he was so hevily sedated.

We headed over to Redondo Beach for some lunch, after the car ride he could still hardly walk. He staggered into a pet store with me and endured the rantings of the old woman who worked there. She claimed to be able to sperm the language of dogs and sat and talked to the poor guy for about 20 minutes, answering her own questions to him.

Despite the drugs, had I been in his paws, I would have attacked her jugular after the third time she assumed I was going to be, OK despite the recent loss of my testicles.


this dog is awesome.


The dog(still nameless) did try to kill my friend Ferrell at lunch. He was a stray, the alfa male of a small pack, and has an inate desire to be independant. (sound familiar) He’s also very clever, and while most the time he puts up a guise of being submisive, following instructions and orders easily, he is actually biding his time. He is waiting for the moment to escape. And, despite his intoxicated state, he did just that this afternoon.

he had been lounging on a bench, enjoying a back rub while we ate, only a few feet away from a busy intersection. As we were getting ready to leave, I placed him on the ground, without his leash attached. Without warning, he bolted into the busy intersection, causing Ferrell, the closest, to chase after him. The suicide attempt was acctually a ploy, we later realized the dog was trying to dwindle the number of his captors by leading us into traffic. As soon as Ferrell was in the street, the dog ducked for cover under a parked car, leaving his pursuer exposed in the dangerous street. Luckily we all survived.

Day 5 Still in San Diego

The repairs on the RV are going to take a large portion of my funds. I am not to concerned but will probably have to cut back on my expenses in the long run.
I can’t wait to get out of San Diego. It’s time to move on.

Day4

A train. A rum and coke, a couple hands of Rummy, with some friends.
This is, by far, the best way to travel.

I’ll be back in San Diego tonight.

All in a days work.

Although Im still in San Diego, tying up loose ends, I consider my trip to have started.
Day 1
I awoke early this morning to get a reserve ID from base and waited in line for 2 hours (I was a little too early and the first person in line) after no more than a minute inside I was sent away for lack of ID. My DD-214, and drivers licesnse were not enough. I needed a passport or birth certificate. So I didn’t get that done.
Next I mossied on down to the DMV to see about getting a temp/extension on my registration, which expires on valentines day. Let’s Have a quick break to discuss V-day.


In the third grade I had the biggest crush on a little girl in my class, her name was Dafnee. She had long curley blonde hair, and cute dimples. Valentines day was comming soon, and I was determined to woo her with a tolken of romance. I chose the coolest item at the bookfair in school: a gas station desk set, complete with erasors shapped as cars, and spent a whopping $10 on it ( I don’t acctually remember the price but it was alot for me at the time)
So that special day of love came by, and durring recess I mustered up the currage to approach her, guys don’t normally talk to girls in the third grade, and started making my way across the cemented courtyard of the school.
My friends, the guys, were of course privy to my plans. And as I made my lonely way, wrapped gift in hand, they took it upon themselves to lend moral support in the form of cheers and cajoling. I was their champion, the Brave who had taken it upon himself to best this beast of love, on this it’s most notorious day!
As I approached her, and her little group of friends, my mind played little movies of her unwrapping the gift, and being overwhelmed with my generosity, imediately throughing her arms arround me while pledging her undying devotion to me. A girlfriend! What a prize!
At last I arrived, and her attention was completely on me (at that time everyones attention was on me, thanks to the rackteering of my friends) I stammered a shaky “happy valentines day” which was met with… Nothing. Nothing but the coldest shoulder, as she turned and walked away without saying a word. I the champion had fallen, and the cheers soon turned to jeers as the cruelty of elementry school kids crashed over me like the unforgiving waves against a cliff wall. This glimmer of hope became my first true notion of rejection. Thank god it wasn’t the worst.


so… Anyway, I don’t particularly like V-day. And tv DMV was closed for Lincons B-day, so I didn’t get that done either.
I did get a dog. More on that later.
Also my RV broke down. And now Im stranded in the parkinglot of a walmart.
