11:30am- It was cold last night, like North Pole cold. Brrrr! Its been somewhat of a good morning, so far. I got Skil's a little bit of food this morning in a dumpster in Belmont. I guess they had a busted bag of dog food and swept it up and trashed it. Probably could have found the rest, but I haven't steeled myself up to getting in Dumpsters yet. If it laying right on top, then I don't need it. There were also a bunch of potato chips, and other snack things like that. I surely think that stuff like that would stay good for ever. What do I Know?
We walked back out to the road and here comes the law, Shit! He gets out and comes over and says where you headed? I gave the same story that I have told everyone, always seems to get me some sympathy. He says, I heard about you, (What?) Then he says come on getin and I'll take you to the county line. Couldn't figure if he wanted me out of town or he was trying to help. I've been confused a lot lately as to the law's interference in my travels. I actually think the last two wanted to help. The FBI guy did, for sure. But now I'm born again, whatever that is.
Last night I was laying in my tent wondering if it can get any colder and I was listening to the local talk show. They were discussing the homeless situation in and around Charlotte. Nothing new here, I've heard all this before. Then he says, "Today I seen one that had a pull-along luggage and a dog. He wasn't bothering or pan-handling, just walking past. He was probably the sort, that works his gig at night" Man when I heard that I wish I had a cell-phone, I'd call and cuss his ass out!But Damn! I am getting popular in North Carolina. Oughta' think about running for some office. In Gabriel now, I think Cramerton is next, probably find a spot to set up the tent there.
9:30pm- We are in Cramerton behind a Food Lion, I'm starting to feel at home when I see a Food Lion. I am about 3 miles to Gastonia, where I should be looking for a turn to the south. My ankle is in bad shape today. Seems I always hurt my ankle in NC, it was in Greenville NC. that I crushed it into a 1000 pieces. Damn, that was 10 years ago, time sure flies when you ain't paying attention! The folks at Food Lion just threw a load in the dumpster. Well, off to work, maybe that radio guy was right about me liking night work. Ha Ha! Dammit! I like this kinda shit! I want to walk to Alaska and eat some moose!!!
