7460 - Animal Crackers for breakfast.

I made a custom icon set based on the hobo signs and symbols mentioned in this entry. I may end up moving them to a custom mood set instead, but for now, it all seems to be working out.

I also modified my journal so that folks can add tags to my entries. If you see something that qualifies for a tag while reading something, feel free to do it.. only I can add tags, but let me know if something could stand to get a new and improved one!

Man, the shifts at the club are so different. Susie was there in a civilian capacity with her boyfriend and both were quite friendly, funny folk. I'd like to head back over there today while Susie is on duty, but I think I'm going to do a more standard walkabout instead. I stuck around from day to night shift... new girl on duty during the day, Candace and Julie has been working night shift for ages. Both were a joy to talk to.

Moment of Lyric:

'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Poor Ol' stars & Stripes... I loved seeing it flying around overhead while I was on walkabout in Fort Lauderdale and Pompano.

Some past pictures in print room. not sure if my cookie is needed to view 'em
from no-nose's place / From the Laundromat

On cool nights, when I had my windows open in Pompano, I could hear it flying overhead. I was delighted to find that my new apartment was also on the flight path of the Stars and Stripes.
