Wednesday, September 7: Aborted Road Trip

I first got up around 630 but decided I was too tired so I went to bed and woke up at 9:30 AM. I 

was thinking of taking some kind of far away trip since I’m not gonna 

be working this week and I don’t know when I’m gonna start working 

because state doesn’t want me to be impatient. I went ahead and was about to take Amtrak and I couldn’t decide so I ended up buying it Cubs ticket for tomorrow’s game 

again San Francisco at Wrigley Field. At the last minute the seat that I was going to get was sold and I saw that


I walk to Mikes from 30th St. I had an intense conversation I didn’t want 

to have but it was OK at the end and then I just wobbled over to Mikes 

and ordered it. Hi I put in a reservation for Rental Car it’s now 350 I’m 

gonna pick it up at 4:30 and see what I do from there. Well, I went to 30th St. to pick up the rental car after I left Mikes. Mikes was very relaxing I always get relax from there. 

I went to 30th St. and there was no bullshit I had to peoples front of me and then I got served and I got a Nissan versa for the second time in a row. I was pretty tired so I knew I had to just

 go home and take a nap and take care of business because I was way too tired
 to drive 14 hours. I’m driving 14 hours cause I don’t want to pay 50 bucks in tolls that can fill up my tank and then some. So that’s what I’m doing. Anyhow I ended up taking a two-hour nap and found my refrigerator 

was open so I figure out to take another little nap for an hour. Well I got as far as Lancaster Pennsylvania and I was not feeling it my durance wasn’t great and I started feeling
 a scratching it to my throat and thought it was wise to abort the mission so that’s what I did. I turned around to the small streets of Pennsylvania and headers  
back home I talked on the phone. I did not feel that well and I don’t know just not feeling myself. I should get there around midnight and believe it or not it’s raining again. I guess we’re in a rainy pattern it’s now 1150 I should be home in 10 minutes

unfortunate at the same time. I'm standing riding in the 7+ back to Fairmount

California October 13 to 27th

Leaving Philly
Overnight in Chicago
What a View!
 I  decided that I needed to take a break from my reality and called my sister who quickly invited me out to San Diego. She paid for the flight and on Thursday October 13th  went to work,  got my time off and took a Souithwest Airlines flight that had a layover in Chicago. After a long drawnout flight,  where I missed my connecting flight due to my plane from Philly being 3 hours late, I finally arrived in San Diego to see my sister and her kids. Been lying low and trying to relax at this time. I got to see La Jolla where she used to live many years ago before she had children and to Hillside, the funky part of San Diego.I sometime have picked up the kids at their High School. Its a pretty nice looking place all clean and modern. The funny thing is they have no cafeteria. The mod planners of the 70's decided since it does not rain too much here in San Diego, that the kids do not need to sit and eat inside.
One thing I notice out here is the the BIG roads and freeways everywhere. I can see if you have no car, you are pretty much outta luck.
Sat October 15
Funky Part of Downtown!
I am going to be out here for awhile and work on some matters and help out my sister when I can.  Here are some photos of the experience. You gotta love Vegas where you can shoot a machinegun!! Oh BOY!! This advertisement was at the Las Vagas airport. The wearther is very nice as everyone knows but it actually gets COLD at night. I was a bit surprised at that. Good thing I did manage to pack a sweater cause its been helpful the past 2 nights.
Well, got to go for now. Be back in Philly sometime around Thanksgiving . I have plenty to be thankful for.
