so today was an interesting day:

I walked tank, my pit bull, to work, because one of my fave bosses last day is today (he's transfering stores to work with my fave store manager). I talked to Lucky, one of the new hires that I am training, and it was decided that I was going to his house when he got off...

I walked down the highway, and stopped at a gas station where a friend of a friend works, and I talked to him about my bus, he and a coworker of his gave me some tips on what to check on the bus...

I continued on my destination to the atm behind KFC, deposited my checks, and turned around..so far, roughly 2.5 miles.

I walked back to 76, and talked to the guys, seeing if the friend would be able to stop by later and help with the checking of the bus...

continued on to Taco Bell, waited for Lucky and Jasmine, another new hire, to get off work...
We all walked to the library (Lucky's house is across the street, our actual destination). Jasmine left us a mile or so before we got there, so it was Tank, Lucky and I..We got to his house, but because his mom wasn't home, I didn't go inside, her rule..So Tank and I went out back, where I tied him to a lead, and let him run around, while Lucky went inside, put his speakers in his window, and played a song for me, a drumnbass song, a brand new demo, he's one of three people to have it...It was good, the kind of music I would listen to at a party, but not for my heart's content at home..His dog, Neptune, came out and played with Tank, which ended up with them each trying to hump the other...but they got along good...

After a while, I left Lucky's, and went back the way I came to Walmart, which is across the highway from Taco Bell, my work.
I went to tie Tank outside, and guess who should be there, but one of my neighbors! (keep in mind, Tank is NOT allowed at my house...He's been living there in secret..sshh..) She fell in love with him... She said that she hadn't seen him at the house, and I told her that it was because Steve, the landlord, doesn't allow pits...She said that I should sneak him over sometimes, and that she would't tell...that made me happy. We went on to talk about how people have the wrong perception on pit bulls, and eventually to animal abuse, and what not...and the whole time, I notice the woman sitting against the wall of Walmart, with a shopping cart of food and what not, waiting for a ride...After a little bit, my neighbor left, and I tied Tank to the payphones, next the lady waiting...I quickly did my shopping (forgetting a couple things, unfortunately), and went out to see Tank sitting next to her, and she petting him...I asked if he was good, and he was..He always looked at the door when it opened, wondering if I was going to come out...I got to talking to her, and she had been waiting for at least a half hour for her aunt to pick her up, and, since I had nothing better to do, I decided to sit and wait with her. We talked for another 45 minutes before her aunt showed up...But she just moved here 3 months ago, she lives in Ranier, and doesn't know anyone...She witnessed too much in salem (she didn't say of what) and now everyone there thinks she's dead..but she actually is kinda in hiding, for her life's sake...So, now we're friends, once one of us gets a vehicle, we'll prolly see more of each other... Her aunt gave us a ride home, and I got their phone number..

So, all in all, I walked 10 miles with Tank, listened to a new type of music, and met a new friend...

Today was a good day.
