Sun 28th Dec 12noon: After only 15 hours of sleep in 5 days and a
tediously turbulant flight from Melbourne to Vancouver via LA, I slept
for 7 hours. The jetlag is switching itself on and off. I feel like I am
on drugs. Narcolepsy is NOT my friend!
4:45pm: Board train in Vancouver to Seattle.
5:50-6:15pm: Problems with signals so train must go slow. Driver appologizes.
6:17pm: Back on track
6:20pm: Behind a slow freight train, driver instructs will be a little slow until the other train switches tracks. Brilliant....
Around 7pm: Stop for customs officers but they seem to be having trouble opening the door and getting in.
8:20pm: In bathroom and door swings open after I locked it.
8:45pm: We stop and wait for a train coming from other direction that are hours off schedule. Could it be us in a parallel universe? Hang on, that is us!
9:50pm: Because of unusual weather, the old bridge is having issues. Technician is called, waiting. Again.
11pm: Arrive in Seattle at 11, one hour late which is really 12am there.
12:05am: Offered pot for a guy called 'G'
12:17am: While waiting for airport bus, am asked for my phoner number. I respond: I do not have a phone and move my ring from my middle to ring finger.
12:39am: Crazy lady on bus ringing random people from her cell phone and ranting.
1:30amish: 11 internet for $5
2am: 2 bagels for $1. God help me.
2:10am: Reading the Dow Jones Business & Financial Weekly. $5, left on table. Seems ironic or am I just so tired?
5:30am: Playing guitar, woman asked if I am singing about Jesus and if not, tells me I should be. Gives me her address so I can send her something?!? WTF!!!?
8:45am: Fly to Philly. Hell...
4:20pm: Arrive in hell. I feel so bad and look like a tired ho. When was the last time I washed and slept? I don't know what is going on.
