At home, go outside and a whole bunch of people come in the house. The power goes out and one circuit tripped. I check it and it’s the sprinklers. Turn them off. Go outside and chat with Claudia F about work. Mathias follows her and I go to a meeting in the front yard. I have to pee so I go over and it’s only a small stream. I go back splattered with droplets and reverse my shirt to hide it. I sit down and a guy starts talking about how I screwed up something. The meeting is over and someone starts talking about occult things. We go back in the house and I go to get Mathias-he’s across the street and a school bus stops so he runs back. We go to the front porch-it’s hailing, then it starts to snow huge flakes-I worry about big hail, but the flakes get suspended in midair and form odd shapes-the eiffel tower, big ben, etc.

At someone’s house, they’re going out to help sick people. I say I want to go, we go back to my place to get more stuff-candles, etc. Get in the car, go by Diane’s house-it’s built very skinny. The girl next to me in the car doesn’t like me touching her so she starts hitting me. Everyone else starts coming up with random verses to describe me.

At 30700, there’s a big storm, walking around downstairs. Two windows break, and I start putting cardboard on them. I can’t get the right size cut up, even after a few tries.
In a cafeteria, getting ready to leave. I go past the desserts. I grab one, then leave. Steve L. is there and I chat with him about music stuff while I’m eating my pie. Can’t open up the gate with my key card-some guy fiddles with it and I get it open. Walk through the mall towards the beach entrance. Go up stairs-there’s a homeless guy there so I turn abound and go back down. Walk around and look at the stores. My wallet is missing from my pocket. I go to the bank to get a new one, but it’s all melted. Go back to get it redone. The girl goes to get help, so I look at my account and $800 has been taken out for sex charges. I tell another lady and she gets on it (she was the right person to talk to anyways)

At U.S., it’s haunted and abandoned. I need to go pee, walk in and a guy asks me what I want. I tell him, he points to a bathroom, it’s nasty, I go to the other one. I rub the head of a bust of some guy for luck, walk over to the gym complex.
In a dept store, waiting to get helped. Look around. Get a bike and wait to have it prepped. Erika’s going to pick it up downstairs. We have to wait a long time, they messed up.
In a clothes store, talking with someone, this pair of people are having sex right on a couch right by the door. People aren’t seeing them as they go through the door. I walk out and then back, see someone I know.

Backstage at Widespread Panic-I’m getting set up, then they clear the stage and do some thing with Pink Floyd music and a living room set up, then try to figure out colors for each band member, but none of the backing musicians.

11:39 am-Going to post one early to drop this on the web. As usual, not much going on. I got “The Great Turning” from the libe last night. Colin is having trouble sharing, helping out and getting up for school. Other than that, Erika is getting better, the baby ate soap, and Matt is working hard. Busy working on the usual at work. No idea when we’re moving back to the main office.

Page 23, Sentence 5: “A synopsis of the imperial experience illustrates the self-replicating social dynamics of Empire, charts the transition from the institutions of monarchy to the institutions of the global economy as the favored instruments of imperial rule, and reveals the costs of Empire’s often overly idealized accomplishments.” The Great Turning

Walk over to a restaurant, clean up a spill, go through the back. Pick up my stuff and put it in my car. Go to a rental to leave, and my car starts to transform into a garbage truck. I hit the remote to get it back, and look at my display to see a girl spy getting chased on the roof of some facility. I try to help her, we get caught. Jump to hanging upside down above some water.

At a factory, walking around-trying to avoid people I used to know and don’t like. Look through the stacks of books, look into the beer making. Walk out as it’s quitting time.
