Just woke up & went out of the tree for a pee. I've got my toilet paper buried everywhere. Last night when we got in here, before we smoked up, Brett pulls out a snickers. Yay! A yummy surprise. Then he says, "too bad we're eating this now, 'cause we'll want one after we smoke," as he pulls out another one. Yay! (writing this now, I can't believe how much of our time was spent "smoking up!" Thanks Lord, for freeing me from this waste of time!!)

We got our free bread for the day & go up the hill to the bus stop to fix my tire, 'cause the thing's ruined. Brett decides to go get his tire that he left by the school to use on my bike. He comes back & tells me about the real nice tire he saw for 10 bucks. I hand him money & he goes to get it. Then the tire pump breaks, so then Brett busts it over his leg & he's on his way to get another one I think. I'm sittin' here drinkin' the jug of juice we bought. We still gotta' go to the library, which is right next to us, & we got a late start this morning anyway. Oh well. We're gonna' see how much Amtrak tickets are from here to San Fran., & from San Fran. to L.A. & then decide what we wanna' do. 'cause we're not waitin' around for Kit anymore. Maybe not even the Lou Barlow show in Eureka.

We went to the library & figured out that, well, actually, we've got a reservation #- so um, if we want, we can leave a week from today (the 15th) on a bus to Martinez (above Oakland) 36 bucks each & $36 more each from there. Then take a train to Bakersfield (which is 2hrs & 45 min. away from L.A.) but then, we could also take a bus to L.A. from there, or just bike. So if we do this, we might be able to still see Kit & go to the show this Sunday. So- we still don't know! We're not even sure if there'd be room for our bikes. 90% chance? But I'm down. We found some abandoned building that's got some people livin' in it & smoked some. Now we're sittin' by the Safeway, drinkin' soy, coffee & eatin' bread. Maybe stay up all night??
