another journal entry (prior to departure)

"9/5 mon - pushed back last day of work one more time - was last friday - just had to finally end it. still trapped in town. no brakes. no home. no job. sitting on a bench. drinking coffee, listening to music. writing this. hopefully get the car up and running tomorrow. hopefully. if not, then i'm stuck in town w/ my friends and family. could be worse. the weather's perfect today..." - journal entry from park bench in downtown boone,nc
