I was awakened by a delivery of a large box at about 10AM. I kept hearing a small child's and a woman's voice and finally realized, as I dealt with the package and told the guy my name, that it's the guy's wife and kid, along because they probably live in the truck. They'd go around doing deliveries, then if they make enough maybe get a hotel room, or just bed down in the back of the truck for the night. And I'm sure the guy could tell I live in here. It's the new normal.
I drank a little sake to get sleepy and went back to bed until around 2. By the time I was actually up it was 3, and I ended up having a bit less than an hour to get some of the packages I had staged, packed and onto the bike trailer. I took off at 6:20 which is as late as I dare and did my dropoffs.
I stopped at the storage unit and took some things out. The light bulb still doesn't work and I'd forgotten to replace the batteries in my bike headlight and the flashlight I carry on the bike. I could see just well enough.
I ended up talking with a young guy who works at the drone place and we had a very nice talk about all kinds of things from tech to the affordability of different places and so on. He reads r/socialism and a lot of the other subs I do, and he seems really clued in. He's got a college degree and is dead thrilled to make $21 an hour at the drone place. But he's leaving to try out another job and if that doesn't work out, the drone place told him he's welcome to come back. We just had a nice old time gabbing along, and he started to say he has to go, and I looked at the time and said I really had to go, as it was 7:47.
I got over to Grill-'Em just in time to order some wings, and listen to the tales of a bunch of chud-type Hispanic guys talk about their adventures in Mexico, telling girls fake names so they can't be hunted down later. Typical chud behavior.
I collected my wings and got back here and put things away and poured out a beer and had my beer and wings. Yum!
Last night I did my usual shakuhachi exercises and watched an excellent documentary about the Fleischer brothers, who were pioneers in animation. I'd take them over Disney any time. I also watched some pre-WWII Japanese animation which is amazing.
