Rainy day

9am JST Wednesday 05 April 2006 (day 13160)

It's quite a miserable day for bicycling, so I am thankful for my shelter under the bridge. I had a great idea of doing laundry and taking a shower, but highway runoff water is disgusting. The rain is just a sprinkle, so it might take forever to simply fill my container (the same one that got confiscated on my way out of Valparaiso (I think)).

At minimum, I will unpack and repack my stuff in a more useful manner, so my business cards and light are on top and my undies are on bottom (no pun intended).

Today I plan to meditate, study Japanese, read the gospel according to John and relax the rain away.

     A guy came to work on a secion of fence behind me.  At first I was 
like "oh shit!" and quickly packed, but he paid no notice. Second I was
        nervous / embarassed to ask if it was okay to chill where I was.  
      Third, I saw he could use a bit of help, so I went over and I was 
   able to help him a bit.  He thanked me and I no problemed then I was 
      okay asking if I could stay.  He said it was no problem but I was 
       like how long will it rain? He said only today 「今日だけ」。I was 
      happy to hear it.

Still under my bridge. It stopped raining a bit before dusk, but I chose to stay another night. Didn't want to be stuck looking for a place in the dark. Early start tomorrow. Looked at maps and see George is NOT in 1 or 2 day ride from here. I told him I might make it by tomorrow night (HA!) No way.... But Naoko (Jerry from Fighting Goats) is within a long day ride from here. Hmmm. Shizuoka.

Alice, who said I could stay at her crib, didn't write her address down in my notebook. It's on my laptop, but my super-suck 1 minute battery won't let me look at it.

All of Carl's food is eaten. Only Jesse's peanuts and Tomoko's candy remain.

Plus 1.7 万

I chilled all day yesterday under a bridge. Left around 2:30am this morning after a significant number of short naps.
