I got back and ate my pork rinds and drank the beer and drank some more other stuff and was so tired, I didn't even practice. I'm pretty sure I was in bed by 5AM, and I had a weird dream that I'd slept the day through to 7PM, but I think what happened was I woke up around 7AM, went to the bathroom then went back to bed, and slept until about 11:30. I tried to sleep some more but really couldn't, so I eventually got up around 1.
I felt really tired. First, on Friday, when I'd gotten my "getter stick" tangled up in my bike making the rear brake drag, and had pedaled that dragging bike with trailer from the intersection to the post office, feeling like I was going up a steep hill, cussing a very loud blue streak, was hard on my legs. Then the long ride yesterday was tiring. So today I didn't feel like playing my trumpet, and wasn't sure I felt like going out at all, but decided I would and I would just take it easy.
So I had my iced coffee etc., and headed out around 3, and the first stop was Japantown where I tossed out trash, and went into Nijiya and got a bento and one of those beers with a dragon on the can. I ate/drank over on one of the benches on 5th street that are named after various camps, and didn't seem to bother anyone.
Then I rode back over to 6th and put two bags of tobacco and two new razors in, and then rode over to the 4th street one and neatened it up, and took out two things: A packet of "pork clouds" spicy flavor, which are especially like pork rinds, and some "Krave" beef jerky which I'd always wanted to try but never had the money for. I put three bags of tobacco and three razors in there.
Next stop was the Amazon hub, where I picked up my zombie-chopping hatchet. It's actually pretty neat, not too big or too small, nice feel to it, and the holder it comes with is neat too. Can't really enjoy the Apocalypse w/o a good zombie-chopping hatchet. I'm still really disappointed with myself for selling off my tall Doc Marten boots which were new, fit me right, and well, you're really not doing the Apocalypse right without some tall Doc Marten boots.
Next I went over to The Alameda, to the Ace Hardware. Sure enough, they had Johnson floor wax that comes in a can, and I picked out a few other things too like a neat little screwdriver, a bristle paint brush to use as a veggie washing brush, and such odds and ends.
Then I rode over to Target to see if they were open, and boy, were they. I didn't go in, just rode by the front. It was packed.
I then rode through Little Italy (all one street of it, eh?) and to downtown to see how the protests were going. There were people there, and a nice range of ages, races, etc. There was a refreshment/medic tent, and a couple of guys with guitars and I said it was too bad I didn't have my trumpet along. One of the guys played something I could have harmonized with just fine, and it probably would have sounded fine, too.
Then I putted on back home along 5th street and what should I find by another blessing box! So now I've got three to visit. This one had lots of books, and I picked out one by a lady who was a "Holocaust rescuer" that looks very interesting.
Stopping by TAK Market for a PBR. I got back here and made up a snack of the beef jerky, the pork rinds, and some fried fava beans, and the beer of course. The pork rinds ended up too hot to be enjoyable, so I tossed them out for the crows. The beef jerky was good, though.
