June 30th: The Last Day of the Fiscal Year

Well, its June 30th and a state budget is going to pass the Legislature. It looks like pension "reform" will pass ONLY for the Legislature and the Governor's office only BUT that legislative leaders

will extend the session to get pension "reform" pass after the budget is passed. This will be interesting at best and a nightmare at  worst. Speaking of nightmares, the Supreme Court may CRIPPLE government unions on a case called Harris v. Quinn. This

could damage union's ability to collect "fair share" dues from those who do not join a union YET

are given the same union services and protections.  Grobart in my present world, I caught the 21 bus at 6:50 AM. I will let you know what time the bus arrives at 20th

St. I am motivated to get up on time because I am leading the meeting today at the sunrise

. It's cloudy misty morning but nice and cool. Meeting went pretty well" like the story. I'm now running

late to work I have a new supervisor. When I do get to work I do have to change out of my shorts and T-shirt into work clothes. Okay it's 9:16 AM I'm about to enter

work. It'll be Monday a.k.a. Drexel day I'm on the board day. Work was very very busy today!!!  I worked late till 6 PM and I got a lot done which

will save me several harassing phone calls about carfare. I have to buy my  Transpass tonight because it's June 30, Next I need to

pay Jane hundred bucks for the next two weeks cause she's going to not be able to pay rent otherwise

. Lastly I'm going to Monday night beginners at 6:45 PM

Sunday, June 29: Hot Stuff

I  Got a Lift

Sunday, it's a real hot one out here already and it's 9:30 AM. I was walking along to catch the 21 on it's infamous Sunday schedule and I noticed I missed a call. I called

Old City

gentleman back and I'm going to get a ride in the meeting. I'm pretty psyched. Well went to the meeting sparsely attended but there's

My Friend Who Gave Me a Ride

Then after that we're going to go to his place and do some setting up his apartment. It's in West Philly on Mellon Street. Now we going

any of those done. My guess best guess is that the laundry will be done for sure.

 I just saw Mexico get ripped off by the ref and lose to the Netherlands. The guy for himself getting tripped and fell down. The Netherlands

At That Great Mexican Place

Dean from the Mexican restaurant. I then chilled out at my house for a moment. Okay. I'm at Larry's picking up my computer Dean is buying it for $25 a month for 4 months. I think it's a square deal and he

The 21

gets what he needs and like it's next to cash. It's very hot outside and I'm going to probably take a nap at Larry's get some coffee and take it from there. I may be seeing a play

I Slept Here

with Dean at 4 o'clock and $.27 and it's arty theater. I finished my nap took a shower and fed Larry's cat. I then went to the SEPTA turnstile to get in and this kid is locked inside

Cleo

the turnstile. Kent wasn't in pain but he was merely stock could not move. They had the call for extra back up to move the kid.

Kid WAS Stuck!!

Well I got the massage done do you never went to the play we need to did I considering it's 737. I'm going to have to decide what I'm going to do either just go home and

On the Bus Again

bag the whole shooting match or actually go to this meeting. I just tried to buy tickets and mean

Suburban Station: No Sun Sales after 7pm

Outside Saxby's

I'm putting it off 20th now and then think. I'm going to go dammit and do some sharing. This blog and wobbling. Y I thought about hanging out

Editing this Blog at 8pm

with Dean's 10 PM karaoke. I decided since it was a Sunday night, not this week Well after the meeting I stayed for bid talk to a few folks including my sponsor and plan to do more studying. Then I talked a little further and then just

about midnight I realized we had no toilet paper in the house. That had to be taken care of so now

I can say good night. I start off the week by leaving a meeting at sunrise

Saturday, June 28: A Hectic Saturday in My Life

View as I Got Up

Today is the last Saturday of June. I got up went to the men's meeting. I actually gave a nice coherent share today. I think it's a small meeting and page 417. Afterwords out with a couple guys talked about and culture busting on soccer is being the downfall

Kitchen Window

of American civilization. All I can she's got to consider the source. I was thinking of having breakfast with people from that meeting like I used to have but inside I go to the 10 at 10:

Saxby's Before Meeting

30 and meet up with Larry. Larry is not going to Delaware today. I also need to buy a hat because it is really sunny and I will get a sunburn

on my head if I don't. While I walk the 15th St. and catching the EL at 2nd & Market Streets. I ran into Larry. He went to Starbucks

Market Street Near 15th

and I went straight to the tenant 10:30 PM meeting since I already had a coffee. Is there a decent morning too.I then made it to Larry's we hung at his house for a bit. Larry

Words of Wisdom

then wanted to go to Penn's Landing and check the new pavilion that they have at Penn's Landing in the Christopher Columbus Museum

Near Christ Church in Old City Phila

area. There actually did something that's halfway interesting. I don't dig Penn's Landing in the middle of the summer. It's freaking too hot.

  I  sat

and watched Larry drive. Then I had to pick these "innovators" that they're pushing and then  some dumb ass questions. Made

10 bucks for about an hour's time:)Now I'm going to attempt to take the EL back to West Philly take a shower and then rent a zip car to go to Chestnut Hill for this art opening.

The Front of My Place

I lucked out and arrived at 44th and Chestnut just as the  21 was showing up. I was fortunate it had to stop and pick up a bunch of people. I am getting the closest ZipCar which is  at 30th St. Station. The closest one

21 PACKED!!

to me were 12 to 16 bucks an hour this one's $9.69/hr. I got the zip car and it has a wrap on it for Longwood Gardens so it's colored green

The Zip Car at 30th Street

flowery it's really funny. Getting hair scout pain in my ass we go waggling around and Siri did not seem to want to be on time so I come

here and unwind. Well the trip to the art opening was kind of disturbing in a few ways. I'm not going to disclosing

The Woodmere Art Gallery on Germantown Ave

because this is an anonymous blog. Let's put it this way traffic jams, NO cigs,  misunderstandings, and bad attitudes abounded that's all I have to say. See my Facebook page for Dean's take on this moment in time.

Wes & Emily

I met up with Amy after she waits  an hour for me to come back to my place. It was mellow. We decided we take a walk and go to the percussion event on 40th and Walnut. They played Indian

drumming Spanish drumming and other sorts of percussion. It was very good. After that we walked to 42nd just not much of a couple beach and ordered

The Percussion Concert at 40th and Walnut

out a vegetarian platter and brought it home. We talked and prepared to dinner and then eat it. It was a nice mellow quiet way to end very hectic sort of day. She left us out on the porch
