Day 33

Woke up with a very painful charlie horse on my lower left leg. God, it felt as if someone wanted to pull my muscle out!

I thought "oh god why so early?", it was 6:30AM.

I relaxed and got up at 8AM, got dressed and went to BK for breakfast as usual.

Left a bit before 10:30AM to find a black plastic bag and a backpack at the corner i sign at. I thought it was abandoned since nobody was around so i moved it to another corner.

An hour later a big white guy is very upset and tells me he was there first and why i moved his stuff... his name was "Poppa Pete" and he made his point. First come, first served like the saying goes.

I go to the other corner.

Around noon he tells me he needs to drink a beer and that i can sign at his spot for 1/2 hour.

I thank him and i move over.

He doesn't return for 2 hours, then tells me he will sign until the bus comes.

He is gone in 30mins.

I keep signing.

Just as i thought things were back on track at about 3:45PM a tropper stops by, gets my ID and gives me a $48.50 ticket for tresspassing.

He stayed there so i had to go. "Library time" i thought.

I got to the library at about 4:15PM and updated my blog a bit and checked my email.

I will read more of the Dummies book and maybe get some more SW books before i leave.

Not sure if i want to pay the ticket, the address on the ID is 7 years old and once I'm in Canada it won't matter.
