Saturday, July 11: Setting Up Printer Going to See Mom @Media

Good morning everyone I woke up in a bit of a bitchy mood because my teeth started Herton. I found out which tooth it was and it’s going to be probably some kind a root canal or extraction to get rid of the pain. It isn’t horrible I did sleep but it was knowing that my brain. I found a friend of a friend’s sister is a right wing nut. It’s a shame because she’s an FOB and she seems like a nice person. I guess when you’re raised in that southern atmosphere can’t help yourself.  I was a bit grumpy so of course I responded to some of the more bizarre anti-backs are things in this woman running for governor of Virginia who opened carries at legislative meetings because she scared of the black lives movement. Yeah her hats are identical read to trumps red hats. They’re so adorable if they weren’t so scary and powerful. The anti-backs are shit is so anti-science and it’s so anti-intellectual my darling. Anyway I could tabs in a grumpy mood because I want to engage with right wingers. It’s generally not a good idea I know better. Anyhow, I just hung around the house the whole day and set up my printer. I was really happy about getting nothing set up. At first I had a hard time but then I unplugged it and started over. Once I got moving I put the printer ink in which you had to do yourself and pour it in. I then found it very easily for the printer to read my Wi-Fi password. I used a different computer. I use the bigger of the two laptops because I wanted to keep my work stuff and play stuff separate. I was really happy about it I can also email my printer which is really kind of cool.

Tuesday, November 7: Election Day

Well rolled out of bed from Mr. Pats place and we ended up going to the coffee 
 hop and hanging out. It was fun. He kept me in line and kept me
 from talking too loud. It was like a library in there but I managed to maintain. I then went off to work and helped 
 yself and others get the scanning and printer set up for new computers. a bunch 
 eople Ramson but I minutes to get ther pretty early for me. I think I was about
 20 minutes early. That was helpful to get settled in with the new computer. Well
 placed in shop till the afternoon and that was OK. The real idiotic

 part of the day was that we were told verbally that the automated
 notice system to tell people of their allowances is valid in every county in the state 
 xcept for Philadelphia. The notices go out but the wording is a little bit off. 
 hey’re going to officially tell us tomorrow that we have to go back to standing manual notices again. All they
 have to do is contact Harrisburg and haven’t change the writing and how could it be no good and any other 
 ounty.? Anyhow, All it says is that you’ll get money to buy a bus pass it’s just a mere syntax of wording it’s not gonna denied benefits and most of our clients are being 
 old that there’s no more picking up trash passes the AMR doesn’t say it so I’d really like to just use the automated notice and try to get 
 way with it for as long as I can it’s 
 reaking bogus make extra work because management doesn’t come 
 p with a solution they just go “who could boys.”

you've been told for this bus doesn't have an accessible toilet. And I'm having my Mac café still. I just noticed the Tennessee state flag has a pretty cool design. I'm not talking to my friend Sandee that I know on

in touch and writing about this trip thus far. we just left Johnson City Tennessee and next town

is about 45 minutes away. It remains overcast I could hit the restroom and I'm going to take a nap very soon. We just left Moorestown

Tennessee in the next doctors Knoxville which will arrive at 5:50 PM Eastern time. It's something in western Tennessee the clocks changed to

Central Time. Morris town to look like a cute little town took a few pictures of it. It was just a pick up. I think we picked up one person.

The driver did warn us that the bus will get completely filled up by the time we get to Nashville. The hours of my own seat are numbered!!😰😡

It is 5:46 PM Eastern time I'm in Knoxville and I'm veteran fourth outside the bus depot to see if I can find

someplace yummy to eat and get a taste of Tennessee. When I did find some tasty place that makes

Jersey style pizza and I had four slices and they were very tasty!!😄👍. I listen to it renews station

and advertise southern rock. So while I was channeling, pizza sauce of listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd and Molly hatchet it definitely brought

me back to the 70s.. Also checked at a coffee shop danish and coffee. It was very nice and pleasant.

So when I came back to the bus depot grab the bag of chips and ate them down. Now I am sitting here ready for next destination

which will be natural. Sandy likes natural a lot. Fact will be going by her hometown of Jackson Tennessee

sometime later this evening. I have something sitting next me want to get to Nashville.

Once again I stay on the bus this particular bus that is, to look at the Dallas text. I think Knoxville with the coolest spot I managed to find

. The bus stop was in a nice location easily walkable to real places. It is now 7:11 PM early heading to little stuff for we hit Nashville.

Meanwhile a touch base on Facebook and the like why listen to the cars debut album.

We just dropped in Crossvile TN. There we all went to minimart and grab the snacks. I chatted with one

or two people including one woman Who smoking the group for the people. She was from Johnson City and she's moving to California was your

true self into bags that's about it. Interesting. I was 18 once. I wish her luck. I'm looking forward to getting to Nashville to see what it's

like. There's somewhat of a layover about an hour and hour and a half there. Larry asked me to say hi to Elvis for him. Well we ended up in

Nashville and the bus terminal was packed like a sardine can man! I did not get to see the bright lights of Nashville. Like it did with Knoxville

but I avoided the nasty bus food😄. Well left Nashville and it was a four hour ride. So ends Thursday. Tomorrow will start with Memphis and end in Midland Texas!
