Search Latest topics | My Journey - before September 1st Sun Apr 11, 2010 7:53 pm by ChasingSanity I am amazed at how well preparations are coming together for my trip. Many things are beyond my control. I am leaving at the end of August - beginning of September no matter how ready or unready I am. I will learn and equip myself as I go and going is the first step. Some people really expect me to fail and die. Starvation, over-exposure to weather extremes, mugging, rape and murder are how my … [ Full reading ] Comments: 0 My Journey - September 2009 Sun Apr 11, 2010 7:57 pm by ChasingSanity FIRST LEAP INTO THE ABYSS September 1 I asked Carole to drive me to the REI next to Green Valley Station Casino because I was running late. My bike and all my stuff got unloaded into the REI bike shop, I shopped then packed everything onto the bike. Packing the bike took 4 hours and I could barely push the bike. I went looking for a church to donate my excess stuff. I found a police station 1 … [ Full reading ] Comments: 0 My Jouney - October 2009 Sun Apr 11, 2010 8:00 pm by ChasingSanity Friday, October 4th I stopped trying to remember what day things happened on. I will just tell as much as I can remember. My laptop does not run on water and dreams like I do. I stayed in Dove Creek where Myra lives for the weekend. I asked the police there where to sleep, they said if you are going to be up that early, camp at the school grounds. I talked with many of the people I met. … [ Full reading ] Comments: 0 My Journey - November 2009 Sun Apr 11, 2010 8:01 pm by ChasingSanity Today, Saturday, November 7th, I with Doug and our new friend, Ricky, went to the Farmers Market first thing after getting pushed out the door of Saint Elizabeth's. Ricky is the one who is going with us to Rozwell, NM and maybe beyond. A Farmer's Market is an event that is usually weekly and usually in an open space in the middle of town, farmers, crafters and merchants of all kinds cluster … [ Full reading ] Comments: 0 My Journey - December 2009 Sun Apr 11, 2010 8:02 pm by ChasingSanity December 20, 2009 Time for me to bring you all up to date. Yes, I am still alive! I told “Ray”, the guy at the homeless shelter my situation; I needed at least $10 and asked him if he had some work I could do for him or he knew of some work to get my bicycle tire. “Ray” said IF I was a GOOD worker he would pay me $10 to do some work with one of the other guys at the shelter the next … [ Full reading ] Comments: 0 My Journey - January 2010 Sun Apr 11, 2010 8:04 pm by ChasingSanity Saturday, January 16th, 2009 We saw Avatar, it was very good. I felt the movie as a whole was a little disjointed like several groups worked on their portion to create an almost seamless whole. Before I saw the movie I thought it was in important moment; this is the first military theme movie in a long time where the military and 'the establishment' is the bad guy. I saw District 9 on DVD and … [ Full reading ] Comments: 0 My Journey - February 2010 Sun Apr 11, 2010 8:05 pm by ChasingSanity Tuesday, February 2, 2010 January is over?! I went on Friday to Salvation Army scrounging for dress socks to have the same amount of them as the wool socks I have. I wear dress socks under wool socks. While I was waiting my turn for an employee to talk with me, an anxious man came in asking Salvation Army for help getting the phone number to a business. He had to wait too. I asked him if I … [ Full reading ] Comments: 0 My Journey - March 2010 Sun Apr 11, 2010 8:06 pm by ChasingSanity Thursday, March 18th, 2010 For reasons that have nothing to do with me and are not my business, it was a bad time for me to work at Cardo's Sprout Farm. Friday morning, was it only Friday, I rode into Denton, Texas for the weekend during the free music festival with Flaming Lips as the star performers (who are they?). Why go there then, you ask? Nate, one of the guys volunteering at Querencia … [ Full reading ] Comments: 0 My Journey - May 2010 Fri May 14, 2010 4:30 am by ChasingSanity Interjecting on Monday, May 10th, 2010 I got my meds, finished the work on my bike then worked with Cynthia to remove the poison ivy in her back yard, her neighbors back yard and the neighbor beyond that. I did not know poison ivy is so pervasive – it really travels. I went with Cynthia to a few thrift stores. In one thrift store I bought a large laptop shoulder bag to upgrade the smallest … [ Full reading ] Comments: 0 | Statistics We have 46 registered usersThe newest registered user is geegbirt Our users have posted a total of 156 messages in 87 subjects Who is online?
