Free Laundry, A Funky Foot, and Yet More Hobo Camping
Tuesday, December 4, 2007
Blackie's alarm sounded sharply at 6:25AM this morning. My mission for the day was to use Bloomington's 'Compassion Center' to do a much needed load of laundry, and get a much needed hot shower. Along with providing job placement assistance, a place to warm up, and free coffee the Compassion Center also have a washer and dryer and shower for the local homeless to use. Traveling with only a very limited amount of threads, I was already past due on a load of laundry. The down side is that the dryer they provide seems to have a dying heating element so it took me well over an hour to get my one humble load dry. I ended up missing out on the free soup kitchen and flu shots I was hoping to blog about and get some pictures and video of.
After getting out of the shower I noticed my right foot is looking a bit funky. I am hoping its just some sort of minor fungal infection. Never go to sleep in wet socks kids, it makes for a miserable night and green feet! Slept well in my debris shelter last night. Its very nearly to small, but that probably makes for better heat retention. I've added quite a few more leaves to the top of it for insulation and should have some pictures of the finished product for everyone tomorrow. Even with grill lighter fluid I was unable to start a fire last night. I think the wood I gathered was just to wet still.
Tomorrow I'm gonna give the day labor a shot again. I was going to do this on Monday morning but had a very nasty, cold, wet, Sunday night, and couldn't convince myself to crawl out of my sleeping bag, at the pre-dawn hour required for day labor. So if all goes well Blackie will have my hobo ass up and at it at 4:30AM tomorrow morning and I'll make some cash and hopefully have an interesting story to post. Chance of some light snow tonight, hopefully I stay warm!
Took this last night before settling down to watch the newest episode of Star Gate Atlantis on Blackie (yes I'm that geeky)
Shot first thing this morning after crawling out of my hobo mansion.
Shot this while walking down to the Bloomington, IL public library this afternoon.

Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this website. It's simple, yet effective.
A lot of times it's challenging to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and appearance. I must say you've
done a great job with this. Also, the blog loads super quick for me on
Chrome. Superb Blog!
