June 22, 2011

I know I'm a day behind on my dates, but I'm still in denial that I won't miss a post.  I will probably be skipping a post soon.  The song of the day today is "Galveston" by Glen Campbell.  It's been reported that Glen has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, but is going to go ahead and record his final album.  Get ready for thirteen songs about the time he took you on a fishing trip that was only attended by him and a cousin that resembles you.

I arrived at Tent City last night around 7:00.  My bike had gotten a flat tire, and I haven't been able to use it for the past couple of days.  I was finally able to find the right sized inner tube and fix it, and I'm glad to have transportation again.  While taking the bus is nice if you know what bus to take and the critical times of the route, it is brutal if you are trying to go somewhere you've never ridden to before by a certain time.  It's worse if you're the only person on the bus and the bus driver keeps stopping at every stop even when no one is waiting.  Road rage is ten times worse when you're not even in control of the vehicle you're riding.
