Saturday, August 23: Yoga, Trip to West Philly

After a glorious night of sleeping until 11:30 AM, I got up and got some coffee and Mary made a delicious bacon and egg and with slice of toasted bread which was delicious. I got a message that Alice can meet me at Riddle Village to see mom tomorrow at 10:30 AM so I called the Cleaning person and told her that she could come next week August 29 and she agreed. I was also approved to work at Mike’s for three hours from 4 to 7 PM they were desperate didn’t have anybody for him. Made a nice easy-going breakfast and talked for a while. Next thing you know it it’s 3:28 PM and we’re heading to lEven’s 4 o’clock 90 minute Hot Yoga class. We do plan to go to West philly to explore a little bit after afterwards. I went to Evan’s class and it was very good. It was pretty warm. I guess I was just really thirsty, but it was a good class. I thought my bounce was a little bit better today. Afterwards, we hung out and talked to Evan for a bit then as we were walking back to Mary’s the naked bike ride came storming through right now square it was 2/3 guys. There are a lot of bike riders that’s for sure and I took a lot of videos of that. That was funny. Then we went back dropped off her stuff put in a load of laundry took a bus ride to West Philly after waiting 25 minutes for the 21 bus to come by. Both of us were that was a good idea to offer for 40th St. and look how it’s changed a lot and boys have changed a lot. They made a fancy McDonald’s in the corner of 40th and Walnut. Well, we did a lot of walking. We walked to 44th and Sansom where I used to live 49th and Locust where I used to live. By the way, the house looks empty and it’s not for sale. Walked by where Mary used to live on Farragut Street. That house was gigantic oh right I forgot to mention we ate Indian buffet and oh my God the price is totally much more expensive than it used to be. It is about 25 to 26 bucks. Gotta remember when it was 12 bucks maybe I’m old and shit but everything is just a lot more expensive. It’s becoming more obvious every day Anyhow I even walked by my old chiropractor’s office. It’s still a chiropractic office but owned by someone else and it still looks just funky and ghetto is it ever did. Next time I think I wanna do the same tour but in the daytime because it was hard to see stuff at times. We had a good time though it was a fun diversion from the normal weekend activities.Tomorrow I go visit mom and meet Alice. Also the massive septic cut start tomorrow August 24. It’s really sad I couldn’t do anything about it. It is really amazing how much West philly has changed and how in some ways it hasn’t changed at all. Seen the old 233 S. 49th St. all overgrown and unoccupied. It’s kind of weird looking. We ended up looking up on realtor.com bill

place at 49th St. And I want to Millville’s for sale for over 200 grand and the one on 49th St. is not for sale but it’s worth 300 and something grand. Next time we do this, I wanna do it during the day because I get better pictures during the daytimeA
