Time Change

Oct. 29 , 2001 - Monday-Its 5:00 am and I guess time to get moving , the Mexicans are moving around all over the place . Looks like a bunch of coons out hunting leftovers . I am going to try and catch a friend before he goes off to work . I can hang out until daylight anyway. Could be a problem getting my dog through this town , without him latching onto one of the local beaners. Waiting for some lights to come on at Bill's and all of a sudden he came out of the dark with that little noise maker dog of his. I didn't dare go near and get that little mutt started. Most of the white people were still in bed. I just stood back in the shadows and quietly said good-bye to myself.I went on to the North end of town to wait near the Circle-K . I needed a beer to get started on this adventure. My luck just isn't up to par this morning . I waited until 7:00am , and then I realized that the time changed last night.Do I hang out or go on? Other drunks answered that question for me. Buddy won't to go half on a 12 pack? This I didn't need this morning. I decided I would just try to walk the shakes off. Four miles down the road is another store. I wasn't the only one here suffering from lack of information. Lot's of drunks frequent this area , it appears.
I made it to the next store and I didn't feel any better , so I did the only thing a good drunk always does. More beer (only a 6 pack) and sat in the woods where I drained my foot last month. Something I hope I can avoid this time. I don't mind snakes too much , I just don't want them gnawing on me. I have to find a sleeping bag today , last night sucked.I plan to check out all the homeless camps along my route, which are many.
Skil's and I took the tracks North and took a break where we seen a bear last month. I am doing a lot of thinking about this trip and I have come to the conclusion that there is no need to hurry.So I am taking a lot of breaks and not pushing the little guy too hard. Two days and we're in Estero .Thats a good distance from Naples. We'll hang out tonight next to the parking lot at Teco-Arena. Having this warrant out for my arrest is going to haunt me until I cross the Georgia line. Never thought I would welcome crossing into Georgia. Maybe in a few days , the answer to "What the hell am I doing?" will get answered.I have no answers right now!
