With a movie

 Up at 3 or 3:30 not sure. Breakfast was some natto (yes, those slimy fermented soybeans even some Japanese people don't like) and almonds, a tiny bit of coffee, and ice water. It's a chilly 73 degrees now, at what's about the warmest part of the day. 

I've discovered that I can do voice exercises while watching a movie, the same as I was doing trumpet exercises while watching a movie. 

I was out of here at a quarter  after 6, and on Old Bayshore had to dodge a new kind of zombie, the Trash-Can-Dragging-Zombie. It paid me no mind, just dragging one of those tall blue trash cans with wheels that sometimes turn and a flip-up top. It guess it had somewhere it had to be. 

Otherwise the drop-offs were routine. I picked up small boxes, a garbage bag of foam sheet for packing, a green pepper and two tomatoes on the way home. I stopped to chat with Arnold the security guard, first about the safety vest then other things. He'd seen Bikini Girl too and had called the cops. I said I'd almost called the cops because I was worried she might run out into traffic or something. The cops never showed, anyway. 

It came out that Arnold has a law degree while his sister(?) never got her GED and is some kind of regional manager for Safeway making "six figures". 

I came back in here by the front way to check for Rev-A-Shelf boxes by this one place that tosses them out, and as I came in a zombie in a dark SUV or van went "EURGH!" at me. I wanted to get rid of organic trash so after unloading the trailer etc I loaded that up and went out the back way and around. The zombie might expect me to come back the way I'd gone, but probably not to come around again the same way. This is the one thing I've taken away from Carlos Castenada books: Never be predictable. After dumping the organic stuff in the blackberry patch I came back around and this time the zombie vehicle had two zombies, one that might be female, moving things around, and one probably male, on a bike. I dashed by and back to here. I've got the place all buttoned up now and theoretically safe for the night. 

I can see in the video camera that the zombie(s) are fooling around with flashlights, probably searching for drugs they dropped. I've seen this a lot on on the YouTube channel "Everett Tweakers HD" which is an intersection in Everett, WA where there were tons of tweakers and nighttime crumb'O'crack hunts were very popular.
