35 hours.
Saturday was another beautiful day for lounging in the van with a book. It warmed up to 80 degrees by dusk. It was 59 degrees in the van at midnight. I crawled into my summer bag with the same ...
Snow coming?
I finished reading "Out of Time" by Lynne Segal right at dusk. The van had warmed up to a very nice 82 degrees. It has been a very nice two days, weather-wise. So of course they're predicting a...

What day is it?
I found the latest two episodes of Grey's Anatomy on megashare.info last night. I'm still waiting on season four of The Game of Thrones. It was 64 degrees in the van last night at midnight. It w...
What a mess!
Last night at midnight it was 60 degrees in the van. Needless to say, I pulled the goosedown sleeping bag off the bed and crawled into my summer bag. And with the subtraction of three layers from...
Feels like Spring!
Damn, I'm proud of myself. I was up and dressed, finished with my bowl of cereal, and out of the van by 9:30am. Which, with the return to regular time is really 8:30am. I walked downtown to the...
35 hours.
Friday night at midnight it was 50 degrees in the van. I woke up to rain and 47 degrees at 6:30am. I had forgot to get cereal on that last grocery run so I just slurped some milk and went back to...
Two books read.
That last little blast of Winter seems to be over. Thursday, Friday and Saturday were pretty mild days. Mild enough to swap out my goosedown coat for my windbreaker and to go for a shave, shampoo...
Another walk.
I woke up this morning without a cold. Maybe sleeping in 17 degree air is a cold cure? I have no idea. Anyway, I was up and dressed and out of the van by 11am. It wasn't as bad as predicted. Clea...
Caught a bug?
After that one whole week of warmer temperatures Winter is back. Cold and wet sloppiness on the way. I finished reading "House of Sand and Fog" by Andre Dubus III this evening. I've got one mor...
Last warm day?
It was 43 degrees in the van last night at midnight. I crawled into my goosedown sleeping bag, but I did pull the pillow out and place it on top of the hood. Too warm for the hood of the sleeping...
The van lays an egg?
The woman here at Hardee's, her name is Jackie (I had to ask when I first came in tonight), just came over to my table and said she had just refused to serve someone at the drive-thru window. It ...
Bad, bad news.
Last night it was 54 degrees in the van at midnight. I pulled the goosedown sleeping bag off the bed and crawled into my summer sleeping bag. A very good nights sleep. I believe the wounds left f...
Picking scabs.
I've been picking scabs again. Lying in bed at the end of another day just like all the other days. Scenes from the past replaying in my mind. Pick that scab. Some are thick like the ones on yout...
A bit of warmth.
Another couple of days over at the student union with Walt Whitman on the kindle. I had found a 8.5oz can of peas. Not really sure how long it had been in the van before it came rolling out of w...
99 years?
Just when I've got the wheels greased and not squeaking I hit a fucking pothole. Yep, the student union will be closed from 5pm Friday until 4pm Monday. But . . . it just may be warm enough to lo...
Wikipedia updated.
"On January 28, 2014 it was announced that Open Diary is shutting down within two weeks. On February 7, 2014 the site went down at 12:02 AM EST for the final time. The associated Facebook page an...
Awesome visit!
I'm not to sure where I left off with my last entry. Or if I really want to continue posting entries. I guess I'll just let old habits take hold. I finished the two books. "MaddAddam" by Margare...
Day #20247
It was 62 degrees on Sunday. It was 22 degrees today. But the walk had to be made. I walked to the library and returned the last two books. I'd finished "Innocence" by Dean Koontz the night befor...
RIP opendiary
I guess the good news is that we don't have to sit and wonder and worry if opendiary is going to go belly up. How easy would it be for Bruce to take sealed bids and sell the domain name and dat...
A two day break.
So after a week OD is back online. And it is still not working. It took me from 5:21pm to 8:09pm to read 8 of my Bookmarks. 2 hrs. and 40 min. Totally sucks. At least the weather has given me a...
The Great Melt
9:30am Monday morning. 41 degrees in the van. Mama knocked on the window and opened the door and hopped into the passenger seat up front. I was still in my sleeping bag. I got up and we talked fo...
Castaway.
So. OD has been down for nearly four days. I really hope everything comes out alright on the other side. The past week has brought over a foot of snow. And I'm still amazed that after three week...
Okay, okay.
So, everybody jumps ship and leaves me behind? I see how you all are. OD has only been down going on four days and everybody is running for the hills. Jumping ship. So I was asked to come over ...
