Recap (Day 22)

Woke up at 5AM, got dressed for work (Sun Sentinel shirt, cap, etc).

Went out, bike seat was soaked from last night's rain.

What a pain to pedal a bike with your ass up in the air...really...pain through my legs like you couldn't imagine.

Worked the corner selling papers until 8AM, then nobody even would take the papers for free!! (except a few old guys). Made $2.50 selling papers from 6-8AM. Now comes the funny part, made the same amount in 20 mins signing!

Went to Burger King, spent $3.19 this time, i was hungry.

Went to the field, and to the same tree, cat-nap time.

Went to the turnpike at 1PM, expecting Dwayne to be at the better corner. He wasn't, so i worked it.

He showed up at 2PM, with a haircut, i knew something had happened.

He had applied for a job at the Mobil gas station near us, and after 20 days of waiting, he got the answer. He was hired!!

I was so happy for him i even hugged him. This was his last day signing, and i yielded his corner after we spoke a bit.

Some guys that do catering dropped enough food for both of us.

We stopped at 5PM, i told him to take most of the food (was hot dogs and burgers) for Hobo.

I went to Burger King, to the back side of it, out of sight to eat. I liked the hot dogs, but couldn't even finish eating one burger, they weren't to my taste.

Read more of the book until almost 8PM, then rode to the library.

Went to the bathroom, tried to shave a bit of the beard with a small electric shaver, did an ok job.

Checked email, same as yesterday.

Almost 9PM, my flashlight died this morning, i need to buy a new one. Maybe from Publix, since someone gave me a $15 gift card.
