Saturday before the rain

 223rd day sober. I practiced last night and it went well. I started on a new page in the Rubank book, and did other things like working out the Christmas song "Silver Bells" which turns out to be super easy to play. What's funny is I have a faint memory trying that song years ago and having a hard time. Like the Israeli National Anthem, it's gone from hard to old hat.

I slept in until just about 3, and packed seven things for FedEx and took off around 5. I dropped the things off first, then went up to the little Filipino market and got some things. That's the extent of "going out and doing something interesting on the weekend" for me. 

I was up for another burger from Five Guys, but when I went over there I noted a "homelessmobile", a kid's toy car pushcart sort of thing loaded with junk, parked outside. It'd be too easy for its owner to grab my bike and take off, while I was inside ordering. So I nixed that idea. 

I did my usual route for packing materials and found that one place, a sort of lab equipment reseller that usually locks their dumpster enclosure, had left the enclosure open.

They'd thrown out tons of these bubble wrap sleeves like a tablet or a small laptop might have come in, and other stuff too like some small flat boxes. It was more than I could carry without large boxes so I went over to the tire place and got 3 large wheel boxes and came back and loaded 'em up. I stopped by my usual stops too and got a few more boxes so I came back here with a pretty good load. It's that much stuff saved from the rain.

 I woke up around 11, and even around noon it's foggy and dark.  I should mention that "dead internet theory", the theory that...
