Leaving Hawaii...!!! { First Week ]

Monday: Leaving at 1:20pm to Portland ... ! Hawaiian Airlines : $409 Sat next to an nice QUIET elderly lady that was going to visit her daughter in some little town near Portland. She and her husband ( all this information was gleaned in the last 20_min of a 5_hour flight...! ) had just recently built a house on The Big Island, on a LAVA Flow...! She was complaining that TBI was getting to Busy & Over Developed for her tastes...!!! My impression of TBI was that it was a island of HICKS...! Oahu is also an island of Hicks, but less Cowboyish...

Monday: Fiasco after arriving in Portland / i MUST start reading maps, and get a compass...! after leaving the airport to WALK to Vancouver, which the bus-service-guy said was ONLY 6 miles away, but what he didn't say was that the ONLY way to get there, would be along the FREEWAY, with NO sidewalks, or even a shoulder to walk along, so i tried to get off the freeway, and got hopelessly lost, and couldn't find a good place to sleep... Now after Midnight! and then the next day, i found a bus that took me to another bus, which took me to another bus to get to Vancouver that was only Six miles away...!!! Vancouver was very nice, but i found out that it's not 'just' Vancouver -- But FORT Vancouver... and i'm trying to get away from anything Militaristic...!

Tuesday: Now in Vancouver... using a copute

---

last entry was cut off in midword by the 15_min quicky access computer

---

Tuesday: Now in Ellensburg... it is MUCH nicer than i rememeber it being 20 some 'ot years ago...! The streets in the downtown area, and about 3 blocks surrounding it, and the university area, are all layed out with shaped bricks...!!! Not a good sign if you're looking for cheap rent. The rents here are about the same as in Corvallis, 300$ for a tiny studio apartment... You would think --Wouldn't you???-- that College and University towns would have LESS expensive rents...??? Just goes to show how crazy i am. It is not HORRIBLY cold here at night, but it is much colder than Hawai'i. i kept hearing this weird electronic tune (???) last night while sleeping on the local Highschools grounds... this is exactly the thing that drove me out of Bremerton... Inexplicable Electronic Evesdropping & Mind Control...!!! There is NO bus service in this town, it is too small i guess...!!! It doesn't even have a Waldomart...!!! i am thinking about springing over to Wanachi (?) but Greyhound* doesn't go there...??? i will have to use extra brain power to figure it out or hitchhike...! One quirky thing i've noticed about Vancouver and Ellensburg, the sidewalks here are NOT covered with hardened Gum and Spit, as all the sidewalks and bus stops are in Hawai'i... Down along Wiakiki, it is a Common Sight to see peons in Uniforms out in front of the Posh Hotels, scrapping the gum off the sidewalks in front of these Hotels...!!! Hawaiians are essentially subhumanimal, slackjawed Yokels... whose nearly entire vocabulary consists of primative pronunciations of 'F*ck' and 'Surfing'.

---

* Speaking of GreyH- : On the side of each bus, it reminds you of where thier parent company is, which is somewhere in Texas-- Which is my least favorite state... Actually; my least favorite geographical region ANYwhere...! so i was thinking of how i am 'allowing' for EVIL to creep into my life... instead of taking the principled stand against all EVIL... Like this computer... It uses MS software... and yet i'm Benignly typing on it... i have lost all self respect... staying free of the devil in the end times is VERY DIFFICULT/TEDIOUS/ANNOYING.

---

Wednesday: Pickles...!!! i'd just been typing about my having crapped my pants outside the library in Ellensburg, and the computer network crashed...!!! Taking all my translucent characters with it...!!! Then when i tried to RECOVER POST, it jumped back to the entry before last, taking even more characters with it...!!! So i just turned off the computer without saving the 'new' changes, and this allowed me to come back up with ONLY the most recent typing deleted...!!!

Snide Remark that the angels didn't want you to see.

Wednesday: So what happened was that i was outside the library, because i get very jittery sitting inside libraries for some reason, and i thought a FART was coming on, so i let it leak out, But it wasn't a FART, it was a WET PUDDLE...!!! So i quickly threw everything back into my backpack, and hopped over to the bathroom in the library ( which is in the same place as the old library that i remember from 20 years ago...!!! But has changed Substantially...!!! And Also; The Church that i used to sleep at all the time, is still there, but it's added a WHOLE SH*TLOAD OF SECURITY FEATURES...!!! ) And while on my way there, i passed an old man & a child making Ice Cream in an Old Fashion Ice Cream Churner...!!! So in the Handicapper Stall, i stripped out of my pants and shorts, and put on my ONE BACKUP Pair of Swim Trunks, and then tried to wash out the GREEN crap from my pants, and was only making marginal progress when i gave up, and decided to limp over to the State Park about a mile away, and work on them some more there... But on the way, i came across a Laundromat, and loaded a machine with them, and a few other things... But when the Machine stopped, it was still FULL OF WATER...!!! AND -- The Laundromat was UNAttended, so i had to make due on my own...!!! Knowing that if i put the Soaking wet Clothes in a Drier like that, it would be FOREVER before they Dried out... So i put them in a different machine, and paid for another WHOLE cycle, just for the Spin Dry...!!! And then after that, and after they'd dried out in a Drier... i discovered that my OLD NAVY hat had popped apart...!!! So i had to trudge over to local Fred Meyers, and bought the least UGLY looking hat i could find...!!! But it does fit nicer...??? Classic Wiggiliness...!!!

Thursday: This was obvious an OMEN, and meant that i should leave Ellensburg...!!! So the next day i walked out to the bus stop... ( The GreyHound Bus Terminal is about 3 miles from Downtown Ellensburg...???!!! and to get to it, you have to WALK there, along the old Highway, Because there are NO BUSES in Ellensburg...!!! ) So when i got out there, at 6:00am, i discovered that the GreyHound Station part of the PILOT Transportation Center ( truck stop ) didn't open until 10:00am. While i was waiting, i bought ANOTHER BREAKFAST SANDWICH AT SUBWAYS...!!! But this time; WITHOUT The Cheese...!!! But about 2 hours later, it all came out, all POOFY LIKE...!!! NOW-- The most curious part of this, is that while i was eating this sandwich, i overheard a conversation that the angels had arranged for my entertainment...!!! During this Conversation, the Subway's Girl behind the counter, REVEALED that the EGGS where NOT real EGGS, but FAKE Eggs...!!! Which fits in PERFECTLY with the fact that the Poofy like crap was coming out with a Deep Yellow Fluid...!!! So it would seem ( ??? ) that the Problem was the EGGS, and not the Cheese...!!! Live and learn. ( Listen to your Angels!/Mitrochrondria )

Thursday: At this moment; i am now in Kingston, Washington. The rents are VERY high here too... When i found an apartment in Portland, many years ago, and in Eugene, also many years ago and Bremerton, many years ago; i'd always thought that i was getting a TERRIFIC DEAL... and now, everything is Outrageously High...!!! It is FREAKING me out...!!! i can not be here for a month... if i don't find something nearly IMMEDIATELY, i'll have no choice but to return to Hawai'i...!!! i HATE Hawai'i...!!!

---

Friday: Now in Port Townsend. This is a pretty nice town and i had a not TERRIBLY awful bowel movement a few mintues ago, it was more like my USUAL awful bowel movement. Did i ever mention that years ago i had a TERRIBLE HORRIBLE AWFUL TERRIBLE case of food poisoning, that washed all the GOOD bugs out of my intestines, so that now-- i can't digest anything, even so, i keep getting fatter and fatter... even though i'm hardly eating anything...??? ( Plus other details ) i've been looking through the papers and i haven't seen ANY rooms for rent... There have been a few Rooms to Share... and they typically are; One BR Share, Bathroom in Shell Station around the corner, No Utilities, Must enjoy sleeping with Large Dog, $900. and so on. Did i mention that i am FREAKING OUT...!!! The weather has been very nice though...!!! Last night i slept on the grass, under the stars, and i was thinking i would be eaten by slugs and bugs, but i didn't see ANY slugs or bugs...!!! NONE...!!! Classic Wiggiliness.

Saturday: Now in Aberdeen-- What a dump, using a 15 minute computer terminal that may cut me off at any ( unexpected ) second... i was thinking awhile ago that it's the internet that is fowling up the rent prices whereever i go... It used to be that you go to a big city to procure the premium of buying power for various products and services, but now, you can buy ANYTHING on the internet, whereever it may come from originally. Some services may be in short supply in small town, but only the most rareified ones... It may well be that the Preferred place to live now is the small town, especially with many people being able to work middle management jobs, from their homes, reporting to 'The Office' only once a week or so... But big cities still offer many features, so it all evens out, with rents even across the board, and going up in only that direction. So my new plan ( ? ) is to either hitchhike to Mississippi, or apply for subsidised housing in Olympia, and move back to Hawai'i until that comes through, in about 5 years. ( ??? )---Sunday: i have a 3_hour layover in Seattle, so i've been looking around the downtown area, i didn't see any of Joan's paintings at The Art Stall in The Farmers Market...??? And the homeless people here are as pathetic, more so perhaps, than the ones in Hawai'i... While waiting for the library to open, i met Norman, who is a street person here... He'd spent 3 years in a California prison for slitting a man's throat in a Honky Tonk Bar, but he seemed VERY NICE to me... ( VN Vet... ect ) On my way to Yakima first, then Idaho... Idaho was dirt cheap a few years ago, but as i mentioned earlier, the internet is changing everything. Norman says to look out for Cloning...!!!
