Hopping and Hoping




It is time for me to make a decision about hopping on the train, bound for Mobile, Alabama, where I will be able to use the computers at the library for a much longer duration, without the 60 to 80 minute wait, which is customary here, at The New Orleans Public Library.
I almost went last (Thurday) evening, but decided -just barely decided- against it.
I thought that too many things might have gone "wrong."
If I had to wait too long for an outbound train, then I would have been in a really bad area after dark, and then might arrive in Mobile too late to catch the morning bus to Fairhope, for their First Friday Artwalk.
I also thought that if I played last night, I could augment the 10 bucks that I had on me, and make for a more stress free trip, ending it with money in my pocket.

Texas Bound?
The evening was a "wash," with me somehow covering what I had spent and waking up this morning with the "same" ten bucks.
I am leaning towards taking the 39 bus to the 94 bus, after I leave here in 31 minutes and 18 seconds, and then looking for a train which is pointed towards Mobile, hopping on it, and then hoping that the conductor hadn't, for "grins and giggles" decided to push the train, rather than pull it and take me to somewhere in Texas.

  1. You might do well in Austin or Houston, supposedly the unemployment rate in Houston's really low, lots of oil jobs, so you might do really well there.

  2. I love oil jobs, are there Asian run parlors that do that there??

Comments, to me are like deflated helium balloons with notes tied to them, found on my back porch in the morning...
