AmeriPrayer 123

Total: March 2020 - November 2022 Ameri-Prayer Part 1 So this mission trip began around March 11th 2020 as I was arriving in Coachella Valley for the annual pro tennis tournament. I found out it was canceled because of this thing called "coronavirus". I still didn't know much about it at the time. So from there on March 12 Thursday it was raining all day I went up to Big Bear & just drove through there & cast my line |Q a few times. Cold in the morning about 36 degrees. March 13th Friday: I continued onward back down into Los Angeles noticing all the different things that we're being cancelled -all schools closed- Coachella Music Festival cancelled- universities canceling classes -Tom Hanks announces he has the virus -PGA cancelled. So I'm starting to pray4 the coronavirus. & I start to make plans to leave LA because they're closing Palos Verdes Library - & all libraries JH over the next few days I found out would be closed (& they have been closed for almost 3 months now). So I go back up to the PV & notice the shoppers going crazy -hoarding toilet paper & anything they can get their hands on. Felt like Armageddon. I headed out of L.A. on March 14th Saturday. Stopped over in Encinitas. March 15th Sunday my check engine light was on. Nothing I could do about it. I had just replaced something that was supposed to fix it. I stocked up on groceries & on March 16th Monday I continued south & passed by Jucumba Springs . I can see the wall from the Highway 8-the Mexican-USA border. I also attended the final mass at the Catholic church in La Jolla Sunday. Desert View Tower hike. Bunch of border patrol fellows pretty nice guys - looks like a decent job actually made it to Calexico Mexicali & then Yuma Arizona & also to their final Catholic Church mass. March 17th is a Tuesday -the Yuma McDonald's was closed to diners: take out only or drive-thru. St Patrick's Day Celebrations cancelled- pass thru the inspection station leaving Yuma at 9 am. 1057 turnout to Gilabend - I'm ready to go onward towards Tucson & then past Tucson. I actually went to the university there in Tucson -there was an angry biker-1 don't know why. Drove around parts of Tucson I hadn't seen before. Stopped at the Catholic church in Tucson but it was closed as well. Slept there in Tucson. The next day I took a hike at Saguaro East, it's a beautiful place - to Vail Arizona, Benson, Dragoon, Cochise- Stronghold, Wilcox . p 49 I think up a name for this trip:#AmeriPrayer2020.

This is where I encountered the rattlesnake & while I was walking down the path- actually a fairly fast walk & there are these mementos on one side of the trail that the Mexicans put out to try to sell to the tourists; & so I'm looking at these souvenirs & suddenly I HEAR A RATTLE & the rattlesnake was on the left of the trail in the strike position. If I taken one more step literally he would have struck me. I think the snake was alarmed because I continued forward straight at it. Normally if that stuff had not been on the other side of the trail, I think I would have noticed it & would have backed off before it had to get into its aggressive position. My adrenaline was SO PUMPED UP from the close call it took a few moments to catch my breath. After backed off & caught my breath I stayed for several minutes & took pictures - that was fun. Then I hiked several different trails including Santa Elena Canyon which is very incredible & I took an old primitive road I think it's called the Old Maverick Road to exit the park, after which my air conditioning stopped working.

I go to the McDonald's & as I'm pulling out a homeless man yells at me "Hey you have a flat tire ." sure enough. SO I jacked it up & put the spare on it. Then I start looking around for a replacement. They do things different here in Oregon. It's not so easy to go pick up a used tire or even just to get a patch or plug without a lot of drama. They charge more here too. So first I go over to the Les Schwab. They said they'll do it for free but then they made me wait 2 or 3 hours. And by the time they look at it they said "no we can't repair that tire ...too worn out." They could have told me that right away without making me wait 3 hours if they had just glanced at it. I wasted a lot of time at Les Schwab 0 . They were NOT so nice. They acted nice originally, at least the lady did on the phone. Later I would have a much better experience at a Les Schwab in Idaho. So I ended up going over to the Walmart & bought some materials to plug tires do-it-yourself, DIY. And I managed to plug it, although the next morning it was flat again. I missed a tiny little pinhole. Fortunately this time I was able to drive ...(it wasn't 14 totally flat) over to a nearby place & they patched it (see more below) although they overcharged me as well (read more about that later). 5:23 leaving Coos Bay .

Weld County 2pm, Briggsdale 3pm, City of Ault 323, Larimer County 335, Highway 14. I attend evening mass at the Catholic Church in Fort Collins at 5 pm. Then I drive by Immanuel CRC. There's a youth group in the parking lot. They sort of waved at me trying to figure out who I am. Filled up gas ft tank to head up towards Estes Park. Past Loveland Lake 7:25- through the Big Thompson Canyon again. Fly fisherman §Q . City of Drake 748 . Nice Sunset driving up towards Estes Park. Slept at the famous hotel | ("the Stanley")- nice place. August 17 Monday. On way to Rocky Mountain National Park at 4 am. for the Sky Pond hike . At 5:17 am I'm on the trail in the dark- arrived at Sky Pond at 8 am. THIS is a nice hike. It also goes by Loch Lake (tons offish #<), Alberta Falls .Glass Lake. Saw some moose or elk very close up-they're NOT too scared of humans. Trail gets crowded pretty quick as you return. Then I took the shuttle over to Bear Lake & hiked up to Emerald Lake & Nymph Lake & Dream Lake. Beautiful hike there too but also very crowded. Hiked about 14 miles in total & ended at 2 pm. 8 hours hiking. Leaving Estes Park area- highway 34 west. Rainbow curve- 2 miles above sea level 315 . Big crowd watching a bighorn sheep- it was collared for tracking making it seem a little less wild. Very very hazy up here ^*. Poudre Lake. Milner Pass 341. Continental Divide. Highway 34 is a great drive. I didn't realize that this is part of the Rocky Mountains National Park for a long ways westward out of Estes Park area. Colorado River Trailhead 354, Holzwarth historic site 357. Bowen- Baker trailhead. Coyote Valley Trail 35. Moose-watching crowd by side of road gave me nasty looks, but I was driving the speed limit as I came around the curve . There was no way to anticipate as I came around the curve that there was going to be a crowd stopping to stare at a moose. Nonetheless I stopped safely without endangering anybody & it was just the one latino kid angrily staring at me without cause (he was virtue signaling) 4:02 pm. Green Mountain Trailhead . Kawanuchee Visitor Center. Exit Rocky National Park. Grand Lake Lodge, Shadow Lake, City of Granby also Granby Lake- big & nice. Finally got some internet data in Granby area. Windy Gap Wildlife Area 504pm. Had to reroute because I-70 is closed at Glenwood Springs due to the wildfire 4* i n Colorado. It was a miracle that I heard the news on the radio M & that I was able to get internet at the last moment so I could figure out another way to go (otherwise I would have driven all the way down to I-70 and would have had to come all the way back ...a waste of 2 hours & 120 miles or so ) . City of Hot Sulphur Springs 513pm. Now I'm taking ^Highway 40. Looks like a lot of nice fishing spots on the Colorado River along Highway 40 but I don't want to stop with the condition my engine is in (or radiator). Actually that was a great decision NOT to stop because later I actually would break down as I was getting near the city of Vernal Utah (see below). Now at City of Kremmling 532- this is a rafting town & a nice butte here as well. Wolford Mountain Recreation Area & Lake 541. This long stretch here is the East West Summit ...now Rabbit Ears Pass at 6:07 & Dumont lake at 6:12. There is a long downhill coasting area coming into Steamboat Springs. I put my car in neutral & just coasted for several minutes without touching the brakes or gas- saw a dead moose on the side of the road- not a pleasant sight. Steamboat Springs is a beautiful town. Spent the night here. August 18th Tuesday: I slept in Steamboat Springs. Before leaving the town I drove by the ski presort & then passed onward. City of Milner, City of Hayden 804, Yampa River, City of Craig 8:50. Memorable moment when I saw the deer with two fawns in a front yard. I thought they were fake at first. They were so perfect & remained still but then they moved & I knew they were real. Also stopped at the Walmart & did some video uploads. Another memorable moment here : The Smiling lady in a pickup truck at the Walmart & then I saw her at the gas ft station as well. There must be an Amish community around here. I saw several Amish inside the Walmart, City of Maybelle 1208. After Steamboat on Highway 40 there's some river areas but west of Craig it becomes more & more desolate almost desert-like & then you come to Dinosaur National Monument east entrance. I went up the hill by Plughat Butte & my radiator really started acting up- even after topping it off, it was very hot, steaming from a new area 0 . City of Dinosaur 225. ENTERING UTAH at 230. Musket Shot Springs 242. Now in Naples my radiator is really acting up.Now I can't drive very far. This is Vernal Utah. I prayed A & God gave me Craig's Pit Stop. I barely made it there & its a miracle b/c they CAN work on it right away & they quickly fix it ( a few other shops I called weren't so nice). Maybe they charged me too much but that's okay -the whole family is originally from LA. I chatted with Kody for a while as I waited. She's the sister of Craig , & her other brother went to Bellflower High School. Leaving Vernal Utah. Ute Indian Reservation 8:14. City of Roosevelt 818 . They have a very nice Aquatic Center which is closed unfortunately (for the local kids). The drive-in movie theater looks open as I pass thru Duchesne City. Carbon County at 9:55 pm. I'm driving through the night to try to get to the wave lottery on time in Kanab city. City of Helper. At City of Price I slept for 4 hours & then I started driving again around 2 am. Emery County 310am, I-70 3:44am, Black Dragon $ view 4:03 am, Ghost ^ Rock View 422. City of Whipup 453, Salina 534. Got some ft gas for $2.08. Richfield 551. This is much bigger than Salina & it's the hotel hub. City of Joseph 89 South (I-70) 6:10 am. 127 miles to Kanab. & I have to be there by 8:30 for the lottery. Maryvale 625. 118 miles to Kanab . City of Junction. Piute County:also an Indian Reservation? City of Circleville 644. The sun H is coming up. Now at the Butch Cassidy house at 6:49 am. -77 miles to go at 7:03 am. to get to The Wave Lottery on time . Passing thru the city of Panguitch at 7:14 . Now we are stopped for road work . Now Garfield County 7:15 am . This is where Bryce & Zion is- 7:19 am. 66 miles to Kanab ETA 8:25 am. Now at the road stoppage my engine was smoking, just a little steam from the radiator. Hope I make it. City of Hatch at 7:34. 40 miles to Kanab ETA 825, Alton 749 - another road work stoppage 7:52, City of Glendale 804, Orderville, Mount Carmel 8:11 .Coral pink sand dunes 817. Moqui cave. Made it to the wave "lottery" on time ! Although I had to go to the BLM Visitor Center which had a sign on the door to go to the convention center (I wish they had that on their website, or did i miss it ?) Nonetheless I was NOT chosen. There were about 10 chosen from 30 applicants- so 33% chance. Lots of literature about the many different things to go see around Kanab including the famous Horseshoe Bend, but also a place called Johnson Canyon where they filmed a lot of Hollywood movies back in the day. Also Marble Canyon, Cascade Falls, Kanab ruins, lower Hackberry, Petroglyphs, Catstair, Lick Wash, Slot Canyon .Vermilion Cliffs , Wah Weep Hoodoos etc. Although I've been to Bryce & Zion I never took the time to slowly but surely explore the area around Kanab & still hadn't been to the North Rim, but I will be in about an hour from now ! Sad. That's the first time a bird Vhas ever flown under my car. It tried to outrun me. Normally I don't worry about hitting birds - they're usually in control, but this one tried to fly straight forward in 35 front of me & it went under my car & died 11:14 am. I saw it bouncing in the road in my rear-view mirror. It really did make me sad. Highway 67 to the North Rim. Nice Meadow & trees on way to Grand Canyon North Rim 11:40. 13 miles to the North Rim. Praying4 A Kody & her family at Craig's Pitstop. First view of North Rim & Bright Angel Trail. Funny that they have the same trail name on the North as they do on the South rim- refill water 2 pm. Cape Royal Road. Vista Encantada 237, hiked Cape Royal & to Angels window at 3:46. Imperial Point. There's that bearded guy on the Harley again. He came up to me & asked me why they didn't make him pay when he went through the entrance. I said "Maybe she likes you..", he joked "I am a likeable guy". Later I realized they just didn't want to take his cash (he had a $50 dollar bill). Because of the #covid19 they probably didn't want to touch it. Not sure if I missed a good chance to do some evangelism -. nonetheless I'll be praying for the "north rim Harley guy." A The North Rim general store & gas ft station in Fredonia Arizona is NOT a nice place ^ Car did NOT overheat while I was waiting to pay for my gas at the North room General store in Fredonia Arizona . I left it running because I thought it would only take less than a minute f|f to get my receipt but I had to stand in the line with about 10 tourists from some other country buying candy & pop & they wouldn't put me in front of the line just to finish my gas. This is one of those really antiquated gas stations that doesn't allow you to use your credit card at the pump. You have to come in & have them run it inside & then come back for your receipt. Actually I realized they DON'T run your credit card until AFTER you pump the gas. However they did accommodate a lady who I saw come in AFTER me. This really ticked me off. My car was running. I was just hoping it wasn't overheating . I thought I was in good shape because of what they did at Craig's Pitstop in Vernal but trouble was about to happen an hour away down the road (see below). I don't really like these fake people who try to control you by calling you "sir". They call you sir if you've been a "good boy." It's like giving you a pat on the head. I'm 53 years old. Really creepy types of people. Vermilion Cliffs are incredible -jaw dropping. Now passing thru "Cliff Dwellers" area & some amazing boulders & my car overheated 60 seconds after the boulders. I parked on the road for 30 minutes. No room to pull off, about 9 miles before Marble Canyon. I praise God t even while I am sitting there waiting for the ^engine to cool down as I stare at the Vermilion Cliffs in awe. I thought about the Western author Louie L'amour & wondered if this is an area that inspired his writing. I used to love reading his books . So my car cooled down & I managed to keep going & arrived at the famous Navajo Bridge. That's another amazing place with huge high Cliffs down to the Colorado River. Also near Lee's Ferry. It used to be a ferry landing before they built the bridge. I'm praying4 J± the Navajo Nation. I've been praying for a lot of different Native -American groups as I passed through their areas across the country. Now passing by Horseshoe Bend- $10 fee to park in the parking lot. You can actually park on the road down a little ways & walk in but it's getting too late- too dark. So I went to the Walmart in Page Arizona - very VERY hot here . This is where all the hotels are as well, right by Lake Powell. I decided NOT to stay in Page Arizona for the night. Too hot^f. I kept driving west back towards Kanab. My prayer-of-the-day is for hope or new hope. Final stretch to make it to Los Angeles through all the extreme heat. I will have to make it through the Las Vegas desert during the hottest part of the day. I start driving again early around 4:40 am. A little fox crossed my path on the road- it 36 stared at me for a few seconds & then disappeared into the brush. City of Cane Beds at 5:12. Colorado City 5:18, Apple Valley, City of Hurricane 6:27 . City of St George 6:39. I think we also passed thru the Kaibab Paiute Indian reservation. August 20th Thursday cont. Littlefield, Beaver Dam, Mesquite at 7:11 am. Moapa River Indian reservation. Glendale UT. Ely 7:30. Apex Summit 7:35. Nellis Air Force Base. North Las Vegas. Stopped at the Walmart & completed video uploads . Stopped at the O'Reilly's to • check my engine code. Still the oxygen sensor. Went to a different Walmart & bought some coolant for the trip across Las Vegas to L.A. Did some evangelism at the Las Vegas Strip. That's the first time I've seen the Trump Hotel. Do they have a casino in there as well? There's Little Caesars Casino & Bellagio &Treasure Island & many many many more 0. #RepentAndBeBaptized - Through Las Vegas as I pray4 the City of Kanab & Kody Craig's Pitstop in Vernal Utah. Now I'm also experiencing what they called "delayed engagement' in shifting . I wonder about those two who offered to give me a tow. Were they sincere ? 11:15 now out of Las Vegas on way to LA. the final stretch. City of Primm is the last Casino town before the California state line. I think this is Whiskey Pete's Casino. I bought some frozen peas & frozen broccoli at the Walmart to keep my phone from overheating & to keep my back cool while I'm driving. Spraying water on my face with the water bottle every 10 minutes because I don't have AC . & I also am required have the heat on full blast to minimize overheating. First overheat at 11:30 am- waited 45 minutes for the engine to cool down. Now I'm driving again at 12:15. HEAR my prayer Lord. I can't do it alone but I CAN do all things through Christ! Watching some of these truck 0J drivers- they actually have it pretty nice. I don't see any of them with their windows open. ALL of them have powerful AC systems. And they can pull over anytime they want to take a nap as well with the engine running and the AC on. If I tried doing that I would be overheating in a few minutes. My AC doesn't work anyways even if I tried to use it. 12:25 - made it over the big hill towards Baker fi that's a BIG gradual uphill. BIG long coast down into the city of Baker. I put my vehicle in neutral & didn't have to touch the gas or brakes for several minutes. City of Baker is the home of the giant thermometer J & reading 117 4 degrees Fahrenheit as I coast into town. Looking for a shady spot to park but there are none. You'd think after all these years they would have planted a few palm trees or other types of trees that you can find some shade under but Baker looks the same as it did 25 years ago when I passed thru. I finally find a place with some shade -it's an old abandoned hotel. The water in my bottle was so warm it made a nice hot coffee 6». Back on the road again around 2:25. Temperature gauge 4 is rising again past mid point, so I pull off again halfway to Barstow. I'm driving again at 2:48. I take another break at 3:15- driving again at 3:42 A . City of Yermo. Finally made it to Barstow. Shopping at the Walmart for about an hour- cool down-& upload some videos. Back on the road again back to the land of A-holes. The way they drive here I can only think of one word: LA-Holes. Coasting through the Cajon Summit. Long downhill put the car in neutral. Didn't touch the gas for 5 minutes. Now I'm on the 91 freeway at 8:36 pm. & I hear a song on the radio called "almost home" on Christian radio. I would call that a "synchronicity." Literally, a few moments later I am home. I check my mail August 21 is Friday: it is TOO HOT 4 to stay in Bellflower so I go out to Sunset Beach. I start taking care of appointments and things like that. I call my doctor 37 about the shoulder examination. I call my auto insurance company & make sure that I'm paid off for the year. I leave an email for the Iowa State Patrol to make a complaint about the Iowa Trooper who gave me a frivolous seatbelt citation. It's disgusting how much they charge you for those seatbelts citations. $135. & he didn't even wear a mask %. What a hypocrite ^f*. Saturday ...family reunion !AmeriPrayer part 3: August 2020 - February 2021 8/22/20 August 22 2020 #prayerWalk JL, i 2 miles at Sunset Beach at Sunrise £ , made some video upload progress , Met with JimLin at a place called Frank's in Bellflower (decent food but not so great workers) & then I went back to Sunset. August 23 Sunday- slept at Sunset Beach took a 2-mile #prayerWalk J^ J, in the morning at sunrise •-• & a swim, video upload progress, another swim ^m at 1 p.m. - pretty warm day. 230pm Trump talks about convalescent plasma. More video progress & maps 0 t evangelism. P75 August 24 Monday slept at Sunset Beach- my oil dipstick is empty in my vehicle -how could that be possible ? I had to drive across the desert to Las Vegas to get back- very hot & - & had to refill the oil a few times but it NEVER went totally dry -so now I'm wondering what's going on $£. There is a small puddle of oil underneath my car. Took a #prayerWalk J^ \ at sunset - at sunset |§§ . August 25 Tuesday went back to Brothers repair shop but that was disappointing - upon return - first time I was there they were great - even gave free cold drinks, but this time NOT so great - so i left -they wanted an outrageous diagnostic fee. Also called Flacco's - they wanted $40 for diagnosis, & then I checked Jorge's -they wanted $45 - kept calling around to different repair shops - now I have other problems -finally found this place called Hans- he's a sole proprietor-1 think he's Korean -seems like a decent fellow & NO diagnostic fee. He took the time to look everything over - my radiator was leaking as well. And he said the rear main seal had a small leak after doing a smoke test - he showed it to me . so I went over to Pep Boys after that -1 don't want to put a new radiator in -1 just did that 2 years ago in San Diego for $700 (they took full financial advantage of my emergency situation • ) & they didn't give a warranty beyond 2 years (conveniently for them)- so I tried some stop leak from Pep Boys & it actually worked J I couldn't believe it - it totally stopped everything &. There wasn't even a drop coming through- so some of that "miracle" stuff DOES actually work . But the oil is still leaking f | P76 August 26 Wednesday slept at sunset PTG x 1000 - suddenly I have severe back pain . also called the IRS about my stimulus check that I never received & I also filed for auto retirement with the Bureau of Automotive Repair - they pay from $1000 to $1500 ( depending on your circumstances) for you to retire your vehicle (only every two years) for different purposes & criteria - read more at their website if you're interested only in California ). Took a swim x3 & a #prayerWalk J% I at sunset, video uploads complete. More maps (H t evangelism. P77 August 26th Thursday PTL 1000 during my #prayerWalk J± j[ I always have a new prayer of the day but it always begins with praise thanks & love (PTL) the Lord - also magnify unifiy & glorify (MUG). Less back pain today -took a swim x2 also another #prayerWalk J± I Saw kid at Sunset Beach maybe 8 years old trying to surf j y but he didn't know how to duck-dive to get under the waves - he kept trying & trying to go over the wave but the wave kept pushing him back - he was so small no body weight. I'm always a little nervous in this day & age about talking to kids - b/c helicopter parents are so protective & suspicious but there weren't any parents there -& I realized he lives right there - the beach is his front yard -& he just walked out of his house - even so- very rare to see a kid unsupervised these days . So I walked over to him after he came out & I tried to tell him he needs to dive under the wave. He just said " / know - its just not my day". We both just laughed . "Made Him to be sin for us therefore we are ambassadors for Christ' 2 Cor 5.20-21 in Christ we are new creatures v17. P78 August 27th Thursday: "Casting down imaginations & every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God & bringing into captivity every thought to The Obedience of Christ" 2 Corinthians 10.5 Do NOT frustrate the grace of God" Galatians 2 .21. As many as are of the works of the law are under the curse... The just shall live by faith" Galatians 3.11 sowing bountifully & reaping bountifully 2 Corinthians 9.6 oil leaking 6:19 p.m. August 28th Friday talked to Raul Morales & Ricardo at the 16th Street Garage in Seal Beach. They looked it over & tried a new oil filter & it actually worked *. It stopped the oil leaking- so that was another blessing- 2 potential major problems solved by an oil filter & stop leak - less than 40 bucks . Interesting thing- these two mechanics are both Christians & they noticed some of the Christian material on my vehicle & we started talking about it. One lives way out in Bloomington near Fontana & drives into Seal Beach everyday to work- that's a long commute. August 29th Saturday: - ouch I got stung by a stingray for the 4th or 5th time - so many stingrays at Sunset Beach - everyday I see people getting stung here & lifeguards coming with hot water for them to soak their foot - it's actually very very painful even though after two or three hours it does go away . I spent three hours soaking my foot in hot water in my vehicle -fortunately I can heat up water in a pan on my little portable stove. I got stung right between the toes.

November 18th Wednesday - test drove a Dodge van at the American casual store - owner of the place name Mozi - it was okay but it had a few too many little glitches . i said /'// think about it & then I decided to go all the way out to Santa Barbara to see the Saturn van for sale by a person named Renny . -1 thought it was a girl's name so the whole time I was driving out there I thought it was a girl- finally met her but it was a HIM- at a laundromat - unique character -looked like Indiana Jones. 1st thing I pulled out the dipstick for the transmission fluid & he kind of smirked & said "it should be running" but I wasn't trying to check the level -1 just want to see the color nonetheless I didn't say anything - he's a little sarcastic at 50 years old - a little bit younger than me- he said he has a son in Huntington Beach but apparently not married -maybe divorced - says he just met a girl in South Dakota so he's moving there & didn't want to drive there for some reason. Anytime you buy a car you got to be a little suspicious . Sometimes they may be spinning a tall tale- but he seemed to be legitimate after awhile- although he didn't want me to personally test drive it. That was strange & raised some red flags at first - but the price was 11 good & the mileage was low & even though I didn't test drive it he test drove it with me in it so I could get a feel - not as good as if you test drive it yourself. He was a little quirky in that regard. I wondered if he was trying to hide something or was just leery of letting someone else drive it if they get an accident. Decided to go with it and had the cash - he actually had agreed to $100 less in a text message but apparently he forgot about it because now he wanted $100 more. He had also said it was 4 -wheel drive but it wasn't. Although it does have some kind of traction system. Either he was confused or just being dishonest. He was a mask refuser. He would NOT wear a mask which didn't bother me -1 WILL wear a mask -just to get along, but I don't really believe that they're much good for anything. He said he was a "Christ man" - not a Christian but a Christ man -originally from West Covina. He showed me a parking lot at a nearby Santa Barbara school where his old Subaru was still sitting -now abandoned - said this would be a goid place to park for a while to transfer items from one to the other. He had a lot of stuff in his van as well & I followed him to a Motel6 hotel £j| room where he unloaded it. He said he was going to fly right out of there in a few days & he was just giving away things - not really anything I needed or wanted but he gave me one of those electric hand saws & a portable stove even though I already have one & a folding chair of some sort. I just took it for the time being & then we exchanged the cash & the title & signed everything. P148 November 19th Thursday: I spent the day in Santa Barbara - first at the DMV & then in a parking lot taking stuff out of my old van & putting it in the new van - & I couldn't believe it because around noon two people came crawling out of that guy's abandoned Subaru with the shattered windshield- a guy & his girlfriend- they were living in it $ - so tiny & a dog too! I had been working right next to it thinking it was an empty vehicle - that was really unbelievable. I don't know how they managed to live in that tiny little thing. I'd rather live in a tent i»? on the sidewalk . Then I drove to Oxnard where my old van was retired & dismantled & they wrote a check to me for $1500 & took the Amtrak back to Santa Barbara where I got into my new van & hoped & prayed that it would be fine for a while (& it has been ex post facto I can say that he was fairly honest not perfectly honest but fairly honest). Latino George a maintenance guy drove by concerned about people dumping trash. He talked like an angry white guy even though he was Latino. I hate it when they code switch like that depending on who they're talking to- told him I'm NOT dumping anything -just transferring - nothing will be here by the time you come back tomorrow.

By 7:50 there were cars as far as I could see behind me .. so exciting to be there as it opened - i was one of the first out there by the water & a giant herd of manatees -many more than I saw last time I was here in the late afternoon . That's the key -you have to be here in the morning because they start to go out as the day progresses. And by 10 a.m. there's less & the ones that remain are more difficult to see because of the reflection on the water. Word of the day 'quotidian'-meaning 'every day daily life', 10:15 leaving Blue Springs, City of de Bary FL 1035, Gemini Springs park is free - lovely but no manatees, no gators either. You can see fish *x in the clear water - one person fishing . #PrayThePlates Jfc : sometimes when I'm in traffic I will pray for the people in the vehicles around me using their license plate as a name tag - better than cursing them for bad driving I suppose. ^Miranda Lambert 'Bluebird' ft. highway 17 South, p 82 Went back to the Black 9 Bear Trail in Sanford that I had gone to before when the tiny parking was full. This time I got lucky & pulled right in as somebody was leaving . Thought I'd #prayerWalk J^ I around for a little while & wasn't planning on doing the whole 7-mile loop trail, but after I did 2 miles I figured well if I go back that's four miles -but If I go forward it's only five miles more - so I ended up doing the whole seven mile trail without water or food or anything., pretty fun trail as well - the mileage goes fast because it's so interesting. You're on this tiny trail with St Johns River on one side & lots of different geology on the other side including animals -1 saw wild pigs & piglets & some deer & lots of birds. Enjoyed a tuna sandwich on the return.

And for Karen Bruce Marvin Doug KBMD. Now at the city of Yeehaw Junction -or maybe not a city but there's a historic desert inn here that was demolished by a truck. It's still there in its demolished state. Highway 441 is a pretty plain rural road -not much exciting to see. Flashback: It was a shame that these parents sent their kids to Calvin when the kids actually despised the doctrine of CRC & Calvin College. They were just sent there by their parents. They DIDN'T have any real devotion to the Word of God or the church or the Christian schools. They just used it as a stepping stone to whatever career they were trying to get but some DIDN'T have any had genuine interest in being evangelists at all - . P88 Okeechobee County 1137 - still thinking of the people who went to Calvin who actually had NO allegiance to the Christian Reforned church nor the doctrine of Calvinism & maybe not even Christianity or the church at large in general - nor the body of Christ regardless of denomination. This includes the Wolf sisters, Janet, the bad axis, Steve Dinks & Whiner gal, Marty Weeman, Doug Witless & the list goes on. Not much to see at Lake Okeechobee - it's big but you can't see much from your car. Maybe if you ride on your bike /;- on the trail that goes around it - maybe that's better. Martin County 145-1 have NOT seen any alligators around here so far. Some people fishing. The canal outside the lake is black water. p 89 A dead pig (boar M) by the side of the road 156 .

Lady with pro camera gave me a 100-yard mean glare- Maybe because I didn't have a mask on -1 can only guess- but good grief I'm a 100 yards away lady & we're outdoors ® & this is Florida - people aren't that uptight around here - at least most people haven't been so far. Entry fellow seemed cool enough. Jupiter beach is beautiful - the 2-tone color of the water is incredible & the warmth of the water 71 °. Wow- but NO waves -that's the only problem here in Florida. I like to have something physically challenging when I go in the water. P93 nice quick swim *». & sun bathe 1:30 to 2 p.m. but blank stares make me feel uncomfortable - so many tourists from all these different Northern States just sit on the beach & stare. You don't have any kind of social encounter with them. Cars from everywhere: Massachusetts, Indiana, California, Iowa, South Dakota - everywhere except FL itself. LoggerHead Turtle %Sanctuary was cool but for a $5 donation you would hope they give you a little bit more to see - all they had were turtles in tubs in the parking lot because the whole place was under construction & then they had barriers so that you couldn't even go up to the edge of the tubs & look down into them. You could only see a few feet away from the tub. The coolest thing in Palm Beach is the Phil Foster's snorkel trail - very cool & free & parking was easy to find . You go in to the water & they have these underwater structures they put down there so that fish «*h will stay there & there's a lot of tropical fish . & it's about 100 yards or so- very nice j . And I saw one of those giant starfish about the size of a hubcap. Unfort I didn't have my underwater camera the first time so I didn't get a picture of it. Lots of bright small tropical fish & some medium & a few even large ones. There's even a sunken boat there (& there's lifeguards if that's important to you). Talk about the easiest job in the world - I can't imagine they have too many rescues to do here in the calm water. P94 January 20 Wednesday: - happy birthday to me. Saint Juliana ^ Church 8:30 a.m. Trump will return here to Palm Beach around 11 a.m. today & I plan to be by the side of the road with thousands of others to wave - * to him & cheer him on as he passes by in his final motorcade. In fact I did it -1 was there & I got the money shot - a picture of him waving from his window only a few yards away from me. I also talked to a fellow & his wife who actually had been inside the capital of building - they were holding a big Trump 2024 sign. He said he was wondering if & when the FBI would come to question him.I went back to Phil Foster underwater trail with my underwater camera this time- & took some good pictures . Later I picked up my free birthday burger #a t Red Robin (real burgers |) - excellent that's the second year I've done that. They are really generous at Red Robin on your birthday & I gave a $5 tip to the waitress . Slept in Palm Beach again & now we have a new fake president who I will NOT recognize as president. January 21 Thursday: now it's happy birthday to Mom. First I took a hike at Apoxee Trail -this time there were parking spaces - but the main trail was closed 35 because of water. So I tried an alternative trail for a little while but it wasn't that great. #WalmartEvangelism t J± MM & refilled my water bottles & started driving south - thru City of Lake Worth & the city of Palm Springs, City of South Palm Beach on the A1A highway, City of Manalapan 10:30a.m., snorkeled at Ocean Inlet Park 11:30 to 12:30 flashback: I'm thinking about Gordy #prayerWalk Jm \ er -there was something strange about him & Kevin very bedeviled as well. p 96 There's a natural floor reef at the ocean inlet park which is by a pier & if you get too close to the pier there's a current that pulls you towards it. And there's also boats coming in & out at full speed - they DON'T slow down - seems like there should be a no-wake 0 zone here. So the lifeguard whistled at me to turn back which I did. There were a few fish here but it wasn't that great. I found a gigantic lure which I tried casting later on & it broke my line after a few casts - way too heavy for my line. I asked the lifeguard about spearfishing & it seemed to upset him as if it would be cruel to the fish to go spearfishing. Well I don't have a spear gun (yet) -1 was just asking-just curious - thinking about next time.- it would be nice to catch & cook. Some people have no problem eating fish or meat at a restaurant or buying at a store for some reason they think it's cruel if you go hunting or fishing, go figure. Now at Boynton Beach snorkeling. 12:30 to 1:30 - lots of seniors at the Gulfstream- free beach parking but so busy - hard to find a spot. Lots of fish here but mostly of the same white kind - not much variety. There are also little tiny jellyfish that mildly sting you - not bad - It doesn't hurt that much but it is a bit annoying. Continue on Delray Beach very busy p 97 Deerfield Beach City, City of Boca Raton- you know what the name means ? Rats mouth. Good they keep it in Spanish. Now in Broward County - it's very warm today. Made a $1.80 evangelism copies at Deerfield Beach Fedex office. 3:30 p.m. Went to the Lowe's in Pompano Beach & uploaded videos until 5:30.

January 22 Friday: Slept near Zoo Miami. South Miami-Dade US Highway 1 - very busy Dixie Highway 6:30 a.m. entering Everglades National Park - nobody at the entrance hiked Anhinga & Gumbo Trail 6:30 to 7:30 came back to my car & there were these vultures on top pecking away at the rubber parts & also scratching the paint & pooping on it. They have tarps for people to put over the vehicles in the morning but I didn't see the sign when I arrived. They did manage to peck some of the rubber that seals the window & the doors -fortunately I don't think it causes any problems just a little cosmetic. Lady was screaming at the birds as I returned to my car. Short loop board#prayerWalk m.m I & Pa-Hayokee Trail 820am. p 100 Everglades continues. Three Latino girls with pro cameras at the Pa-Hayokee Trail taking closeups of something. Now past the Dwarf Cypress Forest - elevation 4-feet. Two big birds f^of prey.

Snakebight trail (not misspelled) was very cool - probably the best trail in the Everglades at least the lower everglades -tons of noisy big white birds, very skittish, scared of 36 human presence & one alligator which I pointed out to a couple from Michigan who were walking by.Dream recall: Gnojed needs to STOP watching TV Q & start reading books.

Also needle fish floating around on top of the green algae water - not very inviting for swimming that's for sure. You can rent kayaks here for $22 per hour . There's a huge osprey in a nest by the marina store sitting on eggs making a lot of noise - surprising that they would build such a nest at such a low level so close to civilization actually on top of a man-made concrete pillar. You could actually reach out & touch the nest. I asked one of the young girls who was helping with the kayaks if the birds had built the nest themselves or if it was human assisted & she wise cracked "they built it themselves even the concrete pillar" haha - not funny. Fishing is not allowed by the Marina during daylight hours- only night fishing ? . noon to 12:30 I took a little hike on the Rowdy Bend trail, p 103 but NOT so rowdy actually - quite tame & not very interesting - mostly forest. After that I drove a dirt road next to the canal and didn't see too much there. Cast f) my line around 1 p.m. - using that frog H lure I found on the bank of the river in Iowa City . I've carried it with me this far - nothing biting. Now instead of a AmeriPrayer its become AmeriGroan, but the Bible says it's okay to "groan" when we don't 37 have the words to say. Praying for family.special ones, samdals, government, elderly , prisoners, orphans, widows, unborn, unreached, unreceptive, blacks & latinos , all skins, KBMD, HBMJ, doctrine, hope, fruit, p sisters, rangers, Eagles, Knights, California, Stanford, military, mental, kindness, Hollywood, athletes .Gary, victims of terror, victims of trafficking, victims of persecution, perpetrators, criminals, hardened hearts, the suicidal, & unity of the body of Christ - Saints & Angels, America, President Trump, social media, hoodship, mustard seed ministry tracts, took a second pass at Anhinga trail at 3 p.m. - this time there is a young gator there & a big turtle . I dropped off the tarp that I had taken with me thinking that I might need it in other places of the everglades but apparently that's the only spot where the vultures try to eat your car. Stopped at the Lowe's in Homestead & uploaded videos. My car seems to be running hot -getting a little concerned. p104 January 23 Saturday: slept in Kendall Florida near Zoo Miami - & I went to the zoo all day which is nice but a bit pricey. Nice habitats for all the animals in the tropical environment. After that I went to the Lowe's & did some video uploads & then I went to Lady of Lourdes Catholic Mass near the zoo - they were just finishing a wedding as I drove up. The ushers were watching so closely it felt a little overbearing. I don't like it when there's ushers watching everybody from behind or even worse when some churches have police officers -although usually not at any Catholic churches I've been to. Talk about a chilling effect. I lost my favorite pro-life sign (that said "Pray to End Abortion" in English on one side & Spanish on the other side) at that Lowe's because I left the back window open & it flew out. Kendall, Fontainebleau, University Park, Doral. P106 January 24th Sunday: listening to radio station wvum 90.5 a good alternative ft station. Heading towards St. John Bosco church a few blocks from Marlins stadium & in the Little Havana neighborhood of Miami. I slept at a Miami Airport Hotel right by the landing strip - very cool. Past Marlins stadium - long line of cars for covid testing with cop cars everywhere . I was about to turn when I saw a cop car •*£- blocking the road & somebody behind me got angry & honked- what was I supposed to do ? There are people who love conformity so much - too much. Rooster \f crowing in the church parking lot at St John Bosco. Lady usher at the church was nitpicking about covering my nose. Church was packed - almost all latinos -1 think I was the only anglo - so she picked on me for not having my nose covered. I left early - wanted to go to a few other churches before it was too late. Miami Street signs have a good system - you know how most streets in cities around America have unique sometimes odd names. Well, Miami includes both the original personalized street name along with a number for every street so it's easier to navigate the grid. They really should do that in every city. 9 a.m. Corpus Christi Church in English -1 entered after walking the whole way around the church because I didn't know where the one unlocked door was. That's the one thing about the first time at every location. You don't want people to think that you're a newbie there so you always try to follow the crowd & look like you've been there before, but sometimes the crowd isn't there - so I #prayerWalk A jl ed all the way around & finally found the door. A priest was there & I said "How are you priest?" which sounded a bit awkward, then I added "father" - but I DON'T really like calling anybody father- not even my own father for that matter - sometimes "dad" but often I just call him Jim- not sure why that is. I used my plastic shield mask for the first time here & nobody objected. The name Flagler is everywhere here in Miami, p 108 Next I went to the Bayside Marketplace where they offer boat «• tours & have lots of different shops & cafes. 38 Parking in their structure costs $7 per hour so I actually parked in the street for half of that amount per hour. Was planning on going to the Museum of Art & Design but I got there one hour too early so I was just #prayerWalk J± \ ing around & I went on the MetroMover for a little while - that's a fun free thing to do (once) that goes high around Miami with good views . However an alpha male Latino entered in with his family & kind of took my spot by just ignoring my presence as if I was invisible. Kind of demeaning - normally I would have objected or made a scene or done something but you know when you're at a place for the 1st time you're just trying to be polite. Plus he had his adult daughter who had a baby so i can only imagine how they would use that as a 'weapon' if there was an argument. I don't mind making space for the elderly or a mother with baby etc but the alpha latino didn't even bother being polite about it- nonetheless I turned the cheek & moved over to a different part of the tram - pretty rude -1 would call it latino supremacy • . Then I went to the Museum of Art & Design - better known as the MOAD -I think it's operated by Dade College. It's in a historic building - the first floor of the museum is pretty boring mostly civil rights stuff- important but as they say "been there done that" way too many times. 2nd floor is mostly like modern art - kind of unique & it is free or actually they request a donation - not sure if it's mandatory whatever that means (that has always confused me). He said he'd let me in free if I agreed to have my picture taken which seemed strange & I don't care - but nobody that I recall ever actually took my picture. Now 3 p.m. at parking structure I'm at the Museum of Contemporary Art - a museum which is known more for its impressively decorated parking structure than the museum itself. I'm also listening to Packers vs Buccaneers on the radio at Green Bay & I actually went inside the art museum at 4 p.m. & there was only one floor open at the time & it once again it was mostly civil rights stuff here as well - not very interesting. I had my plastic shield on as well as a cloth face mask & then I went to the outdoor courtyard for a while - there's a few sculptures out there- & a cat ££ strutting around. I tried to pet it. Then I stepped back inside -1 was planning on leaving but an alpha Latino employee snapped "Sir you need to have your nose covered ". My cloth mask underneath my plastic shield had come down a little bit under my nose & he jumped all over me. The minute I stepped in the door it was like he was nitpicking &. I finally snapped & said a few choice words back at him & walkef * * f, out. Very perturbed by his mishandling of that situation. Plus they were at least 25 feet away from me & nobody else was there. It was not so much of an actual health concern as it seemed like micromanaging - aka nitpicking . Other than that experience in Florida there was NOT a big uptight mask contingent - pretty laidback in general. Only three times in FL where somebody jumped all over me for not having my nose covered-1) earlier that same day at the Catholic Church, 2) here at the Museum, & 3) at Disney World or actually Disney Springs a few weeks prior. Green Arrow nearby not working - so I just went thru. Then I went to the Walmart on 79th Street - gigantic line just to go inside so I left there - that's the pit of Miami. p 110 January 25 Monday: I slept in Miami again. I love the Miami murals in random places all over the city , but I hate the big-city jaded feel & the aggressive driving. Passing thru the Miccosukee Indian Reservation 9:15 to 11:15. I hiked Shark Valley & saw at least seven alligators -& plus four more from the car as I was leaving. Guy wearing a Packers hat & his wife asked me to take their picture . I said to him " what happened to the Packers yesterday ?" He just laughed. Bucs defeated Packers & the Chiefs beat the Bills p111 PTL-MUG 10000 - passing by the Big 39 Cypress preserve 11:15 freaking stupid truck driver in a big J§ rig tried to pass me on the two-way highway HI- I was driving the speed limit & as he rambunctiously passed there were cars coming & he was NOT going nearly fast enough to make a safe pass - so either he had to back off & return behind me which he wasn't going to do or I had to hit my brakes or there literally would have been some sort of collision. If I had not actually slammed my brakes to allow him in , & that's not the way you're supposed to pass, there would have been an accident. If you're NOT able to pass safely with enough speed you DON'T make the other driver slow down to allow you to pass- that was really bad driving. I wish I had gotten his license plate to report him. He could have caused a serious deadly accident *f . This road has a lot of wildlife & there's tourists driving up & down it going the speed limit, but there's locals & truckers who want to go faster. They've been down this road so many times they get angry behind you. It's very frustrating . I wish they'd go somewhere else if they don't like driving down this road, if you live in in Florida & hate tourists you better move somewhere else. Then I also saw a dead turtle % on the road which is another proof of overly- aggressive driving - if you can't avoid a turtle crossing the road you know you're driving too fast; or alternatively they intentionally hit it & you're a sick puppy if you're trying to kill a turtle with your car £ . slow down. There was a dead alligator as well 1128 . Big Cypress preserve - now that's a great place to see alligators. That's even better than shark alley & NO national park fee. I missed this place last time I came thru here. Lots of active wild alligators in the water right by the road. And I saw a monster gator at a different location - the 10,000 Islands National Wildlife Refuge Marsh Trail tons of white birds 3:45 to 4:45. A tourist #prayerWalk J± J, ing by said "Have you ever seen anything like this before? " as if I was a local yokel. I said "no never" & laughed. January 26th Tuesday: I slept in Naples. #WalmartEvangelism t J* ull -& spent $50 on groceries. Then over to the Naples Botanical Garden $20 entry fee -a bit too pricey . Suddenly my brake warning light flashed on -never seen that before. So I pulled into a little gas ft station & asked the guy working there "Can you check if my brake lights are on when I push my brake pedal ?" He watched for a few seconds & said "Yes they're all on" & I said "WAiy would my brake warning light come onT & he said "Probably it's a glitch with the sensor". Later I found out it was indeed a glitch - a torn wire near the brake pads is causing these false warning signs. So I can fix it for $700 or just ignore it. I'm choosing to ignore it for the time being. Naples Reserve small 10:30 to 10:45, Lowdermilk Park requires paid parking & a there's a warning sign re red tide,11:15. , Clam Pass - $8 parking. Guy said "reef tide is very slight today". Vanderbilt Beach 11:40, Delnor-Wiggins State Park $4 entry fee (I've been here before - in fact I think that may have been the same Ranger as the last time I was here taking the entrance fee). Found a HUGE sand dollar while snorkeling- no red tide here at the moment -but they do have it sometimes. Ranger lady said "the fish are dead because of the fertilizer ". They're using too much fertilizer on their lawns & golf courses around here & it goes into the ocean & causes problems. P116 so I stayed at Wiggins for a little while - took two-mile #prayerWalk Jm I along the beach - lots of bland tourists from the northern states -also did a little bit of evangelism in the parking lot. I call what I do 'destination evangelism'. I'll talk more about that later. Near where I sat on the beach after swimming there was a family & they had started setting up at the picnic table behind me. Suddenly the woman screamed - there was a raccoon roaming around the table - they scared it away & calmed down. Guzzled a cup of 40 coffee & mixed with butter -that's my new thing putting butter in the coffee - it's supposed to be good for the taste & actually healthy. For so long I had avoided using butter. I thought it was fattening. But then I started reading more about it & realize we actually need some butter - it's good for you in some ways & now I'm consuming it voraciously. But make sure you buy the organic grass fed butter & preferably saltless . After that I went to the Audubon Corkscrew Sanctuary & hiked 2 Miles there as well (Crew Bird Rookery, Bonita Springs) 2:30 to 3:30 . First I saw a baby gator on the path & another baby gator swimming & then a little farther down there was a huge alligator J ^ smack dab in the middle of the trail which caused me to pause as I pondered whether I wanted to pass by or not. As I pondered, another fellow came #prayerWalk *-« f, ing towards me & I said "There's a big Gator there" & he looked & said without emotion " oh yeah, are you going to pass him?' & he just kept #prayerWalk Jm I ing right past the the gator -which didn't even flinch or move - so I surmised this guy was a local & he knows alligators. And I followed him & didn't get chased or bothered. And then I later read a little bit more about alligators & realized humans can outrun an alligator. They have quick bursts but you can outrun them & normally they're not aggressive towards humans. I think I read somewhere else as well that after they eat they just sit there & digest it for a long time- maybe it just had breakfast, but also they have to sit in the sun for a while to warm up their bodies because they're cold-blooded. Collier County Fairgrounds. January 27th Wednesday: slept in Bonita Springs & went 0 Saint Leo 8 a.m., then over to the laundromat 9 to 10 a.m- a tiny little place. Latina lady working there. I was emptying the dryer & then a new Latino lady came in & she could have waited 30 seconds for me to empty the dryer but she tried to start loading her laundry right next to me causing an awkward moment. Just NOT enough space. I finally said "If you can just wait 30 seconds I'll be done here". I don't think she even realized how rude she was being. Then I passed by the Everhlades Wonder Gardens -that's kind of neat - would like to go there sometimes. Also stopped in at Dollar Tree briefly but the line was going so slow I left. I'll buy batteries somewhere else. Also Riverside Park where you can see manatees sometimes but right now the weather was too warm. Then I drove past the old Greyhound dog racing track which just ended in Florida. They finally outlawed all dog racing - now only two states where it's still legal. I actually would like to have seen greyhound racing but some people thinks it's cruel to the dogs. Passed by Florida Gulf Coast University 11:30 a.m. which is a pretty boring campus except near the sports area - "dunk city" as they call it. p 118 it's a big campus -14,000 students says Wikipedia - but too warm & humid here - & this is a bland part of Florida near Fort Myers. Now passing by the Minnesota Twins spring training facility 11:57 a.m. I noticed they spread out the spring training facilities here in Florida much more than they do for the Cactus League in Phoenix where you can drive to all the different stadiums within an hour or so. But here in Florida stadiums are half a day drive away or more (ie as far as Lakeland to Miami). Took a hike at 6- mile slough - not too exciting -12:30 pay to park, then went over to Bunche Beach (San Carlos Bay) where i tossed a floating coconut like a football 0 & took a swim. Northern tourists sitting with blank stares on their face . p 119 slept in Fort Myers, hiked the Four -Mile Eco Park which is nice- got some good bird pictures there. Also went to the Sirenia Vista preserve (Cape Coral) 11:15 a.m. & saw a few manatees floating in the water, but nothing compared to Blue Springs. Message from Linda on my phone § . Punta Gorda Ponce de Leon Park & Peace Wildlife Center 41 donated $1 - tiny place- beautiful breeze there. At the Wendy's close call re parking lot jerk . Ollie's Pond 2 p.m. no Gators.p120 passing by the Tampa Bay Rays spring training park. January 29th Friday: slept in North Port near Deer Prairie Reserve 8:30 a.m. & went to Catholic mass in North Port - heard something about Katie Van Dam an attack helicopter pilot - she was a military person talking about her life story on the radio- that was interesting, also passed thru Venice Beach & Pier -kind of a nice area here- supposed to be a lot of good shells % on the beach ^ f here & supposedly lots of shark teeth as well, so I walked the beach & found a few nice shells but didn't see any shark teeth . City of Nomis 11:39 a.m. Casey Key Road is beautiful. Then i went to the Walmart in Osprey & found some nice shorts for sale on clearance but the fitting rooms are closed so you have to buy it & then go try it on & then return it if it doesn't fit. But the way the lady working there talked to me after I said I asked her if I can try it on - she was rude so I just left. I DON'T want to buy something from that place if they're going to talk to me that way. Message to JimLin - had to try to convince them that the alligators Jgi are real here . I sent them a few pictures i took & she seemed dubious whether I had actually taken those pictures myself or if they were real alligators. Yes they are VERY REAL- they do exist here in Florida but you have to go to the southern parts. You're NOT going to see them very often in random northern parts of Florida - although I did see a lot in the Tallahassee area at the St. Marks Park a few years back. Although the second time I went there I didn't see any. So it all depends on the specific area & maybe the time of year as well. I bought some more unsalted organic butter for $5 -expensive but worth it. Praying for the angry lady at the Osprey Walmart - I'll never forget her. Atlanta almost upset the Chiefs but Kansas City came out on top. P122 Arriving at the first Art : • Museum in Sarasota in a stately building but it actually turns out to be a contemporary art museum which is usually NOT what I like or enjoy very much. I was greeted by a security guard in the parking lot who seemed to have a British accent. he demanded I put a mask on- well he tried to be nice about it but just wanted to make sure I did have a mask which I did - but it kind of puts a chill on things. Plus their admission fee is $15 so I was expecting something pretty great but there were only two floors & they were NOT very inspirational & the watchers watched me too intensely as if they were afraid i was going to touch something -didn't feel like you could relax at all. I mean really I'm paying money just to relax for a while - to get out of the car -maybe sit down . I just don't want to be stared at by people in the art galleries afraid that I'm going to steal a piece of art or something. I mean this is NOT even like Van Gogh or anything like that -come on now. They have more security here than I've seen at some art museums with million dollar pieces. From there I continued North Sarasota & stopped in at the Ringling Museum - that's the real deal so I actually ended up going here twice- first time here today I paid the $5 fee just to see the grounds but couldn't go into the museum. However, on Mondays it's free to see the art museum so I put it on my calendar to come back here in a few days for free rather than pay the $25 fee. Glad to save a little money. It gets tiring feeling like an ATM §|machine paying everybody for everything. From there I went to the Lowe's & uploaded some videos. Still praying for the military & the mentally ill 10000. Saturday January 30th: I slept in Bradenton at a hotel near the Christian Reformed Church of all places. I just realized it after I woke up & started driving the next morning. I had passed this church once before a few years prior having intentionally searched it out as I do in 42 my many of my journeys across America -1 often search google maps for the Christian Reformed Church in the city if they have one - just to drive by & take a picture. Having grown up in the Christian Reformed Church & being the son of a CRC pastor & the grandson of a CRC pastor & I almost became a CRC Pastor myself - but instead ended up being a non-denom Christian evangelist trying to fulfill the Great Commission. Traffic signals in Bradenton are too long & untimed - spent a lot of time sitting at red lights . glad to get out of here. Lots of big rig truckers all over Bradenton city streets as well. Praying for the unity of the body of Christ & to accept forgiveness 10,000. Started the morning at the Robinson Preserve 8 a.m.which is right by the Tampa Bay (not Tampa city)- & took a 3-mile hike. Then I went over to Desoto National Park Memorial where there is a giant cross & Eucharist pillar to commemorate the landing of DeSoto. From there I went across the bridge - stopping on the other side to cast my line in the Manatee River a few times but it was too weedy there. All I caught was a "grass bass" as they say 11:30 am. P124 1/30 going over the Sunshine •-• Skyway at high noon & there's a fishing pier here so I pulled over & decided to cast my line jQ. Lots of people fishing but I didn't see anybody catching anything . As I was leaving I saw some kids pull up with wetsuits on & spearguns so they're going to go IN the water - that's the way to go i . You pay $1.50 to go across the Sunshine & the fishing pier itself is $4. But you can park before the actual pier for free You have to pay even if you #prayerWalk Jm I on to the pier but there's a free section before the pier. I don't think there's many fish here to tell you the truth but people are trying - good sermon material - most people who fish do it with hope (well some people just like to go out there as an excuse to get out of the house) but if you're a real fisherman you fish with hope & a plan - with the best bait for the situation & all the right accessories- & always the hope that you might catch something, and that's the way it is for Christian evangelism as fishers of people - we MUST have hope & confidence which ultimately comes frim God. Without hope & confidence I don't think the Holy Spirit will bless it, & anytime I've caught real fish it's always been when I've been hopeful & optimistic that I will catch some. Likewise evangelism. Continuing over the bridge I come into St Petersburg & at an intersection there's a black man asking for food - so I pull out a can of green beans & gesture - he comes over & I hand it to him & he kind of looked it over like "Do I really want this?" That's kind of weird when you try to help somebody & they have an attitude - he seemed a little cocky. A cocky homeless person. Its NO fun helping a "spoiled homeless person." Entering historic downtown Saint Petersburg p 125 - there's an art museum, pier, the Dali Museum, very crowded Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. I finally found a place to park at the Aquatic Center where they have a big swimming pool & it's right on the beach ^ f - although nobody was in the water here on the Tampa Bay. looks really shallow at least at the moment. A lot of beach volleyball players & people #prayerWalk Jm I ing for exercise. I took a #prayerWalk J* ][ myself. Then I left & drove around- this is a neat area- great old architecture. Passed by the famous Sunken Gardens. Then I went to St Paul ^fo r 530 evening mass. Two Latinos in front of me came in late & then they wouldn't kneel at the time you're supposed to kneel - for whatever reason I don't know but if the people in front of you don't kneel & you do your head is right in their back so it kind of makes it impossible or very awkward to kneel when the people in front do not do so . I liked this church but it kind of put a damper on things & I actually left early. What are you supposed to do? Start yelling at them for 43 not kneeling. But it was either total lack of self-awareness on their part to not know that there's a person behind them trying to kneel or wanting to kneel, or blatant rudeness. Leaving there I passed by the Tampa Bay Times building just by coincidence - at least one of their locations - but probably not their main building. And then I went to Lowe's & did a few video uploads after which I found a Quality Inn for the night. p 126 January 31 Sunday: praying for church- the body of Christ yesterday in anticipation of going to church today. Praying for the unity of the body of Christ - #acceptChrist2bSaved2Day & accept forgiveness. Woke up feeling good & happy. 730am Saint Jude Cathedral. On radio- ft by blink 182: "don't waste your time on me -you're already a voice inside my head". Central 0 church 9 a.m. lots of praise (still here in St Petersburg going to different churches praying for the lost sheep ;. 127 BridgePoint Church-tyrone location-a mega church-also good. They have a new pastor or associate pastor. Pasadena Florida 12:15. Now at St Petersburg Beach & Treasure island, Indian Rocks, now Florida Botanical Gardens for 1 hour #prayerWalking J ^ J, around - there are alligator warning signs but I DIDN'T see any alligators. I think some places in Florida add those alligator warning signs just to add to the allure because tourists want to see alligators but they might even put those signs up in places where there are NOT any alligators -that's my suspicion. Also there's a heritage village here- cool bunch of old houses they moved here to save them. Continue prayer of the day (POD)- super prayer - power of prayer (POP) for prisoners, orphans, & widows - the unborn,the unreached, & the unreceptive. Northside Baptist is a nice church too. Lots of good churches here in St Petersburg. The Baptist preacher delivered a fervent sermon & mentioned the Bucs in the Super Bowl. He actually had gone to a few games this season because he got free tickets, but each time he went, they lost. 221 p.m. p 128 ft cool song by Royal & the Serpent Called "Overwhelmed' ft. February 1 Monday: back at the Ringling Art Museum in Sarasota for the free day save $25 (although it does not include the circus museum but I'm more interested in the art ' • museum anyways) & I am very impressed by their museum. It is incredible - lots of masterful art & even a little bit of a modern art section. They have a lot of great oldies. Stayed there from 10am to high noon. #PrayTheArt mmK,: I actually prayed the art while walking thru the Ringling Museum - a lot of prayers for intercession to Mother Mary because she is featured in so much of the art & then also straight to Jesus because He's in the art as a child & on the cross, & also to many of the saints & the Angels who are also depicted in the art. It's really incredible how art can spark your prayerful mind if you allow it «. Now at an intersection a homeless white guy -1 hand him a can of corn ^ & he's even more cocky than the black guy yesterday. HE says "Thank you bud" even a little bit condescending as if he was superior to me - good grief. p129 Heron's Nest hike & nature park - lots of ponds & trails -no alligators as far as I could tell. 12:45 to 11:15, City of Fort Hamer 1:30 p.m. & , Hillsboro County 142 p.m. -windy day. Now at the Lowe's uploading videos. Leaving at 6:30 near Gibsonton Drive & I-75 highway (see https://maps.app.goo.gl/naB6if5d7Yqsrtw38There was a young lady on a scooter leaving the parking lot at the same time. She's across from me when I come to the intersection. I blink my lights at her to signal that I see her & that she can go ahead of me. So she goes ahead of me & now we're turning onto the main road. I remember briefly thinking to myself it seems pretty dangerous to be driving a tiny scooter motorcycle in what feels like pretty wild traffic around 44 Tampa Bay. But I forget about her a few seconds later- by that time I'm almost driving over the interstate when suddenly a pickup truck turns quickly in front of me to enter the 1-75 Highway NOT seeing the girl on the scooter motorcycle & he just crushes her & my heart sinks - it happens so fast & I hear this crack as he hits her & she goes flying off her scooter & her scooter is demolished. All I could see was a shadow because it was dark by this time . You needed your headlights on & I'm shook up as I call 911 & I can't figure out where I am at at the moment because I had Google maps in navigation mode so it wasn't responding to me & I was too shook up to realize how to change that & he kept asking "What street are you on?". BY the time I figured out exactly where I was police £5,- had already arrived, but the guy on 911 demanded that I stay on the phone because he had to know where I was before he could let me go. Finally figured it out. The girl who was driving on the scooter is lying in the grass. She's unable to move but is alive thankfully & her eyes are open - she's conscious & she's able to talk a little bit but she is seriously injured. I hope she makes it without being paralyzed or something -1 really think that guy in the pickup truck was just going too fast & I had already been thinking about the pickup drivers around Tampa Bay- they're just very aggressive in these new-style pickup trucks. So many times as as I'm driving around Tampa they come up behind me & acting impatient to pass me even though I'm driving the speed limit -maybe adding to their agitation is my out-of-state plate. So now I'm praying for the scooter gal -she's on my prayer J± list. Police officer asked me & another driver to wait a few minutes so he could ask us a few questions. All I could tell him was that I saw him turn in front of me & hit her & that's all I know. But what he was fishing for was whether there was a working headlight on the scooter. Apparently the pickup driver was saying that she didn't have a headlight or that it was a dim headlight & I couldn't recall back at the Lowe's whether she had a headlight or not because there were overhead streetlights. I THINK she did but I couldn't swear to it & its impossible to tell after the fact because her scooter was demolished.P130 February 2 Tuesday: slow down pick up trucks -1 even made a tweet about it. First I go to Blessed Sacrament ^Church which is really small -1 arrive early in the parking lot & a priest walks by my car as if he's going to another building but it looks like he's trying to see who's in "the California car" -made me feel uncomfortable. So I left without going into the church- too small - no way to disguise yourself as a regular attendee . Then I go to the Lettuce Lake Park at 9:30 a.m. -nice boardwalk along the river- lots of birds- no alligators . Nice lookout tower as well & they have canoes & kayaks you can rent but it was closed at the time. Then I go to St Paul's 0 church for noon mass. Still praying for scooter girl. After that I stopped at the Lowe's & did some video uploads & then I went over to the Veterans AMC movie £f theater which is fully open unlike so many other movie theaters across the country. Florida is more open than anywhere else & they have a wide variety of movies here as well at least 10, whereas some of the AMC's only have two movies at each theater. And I have my $20 AMC gift card that I got for donating blood, so I go to see "Wonder Woman 1984". II like Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman even though this film did not get as good reviews as the first one. I thought it was decent although it was slow & kind of lagged at times- a little bit too much soap opera romance- her co-star in the movie is Chris Pine (plays the boyfriend) among others but it was Pedro Pascal playing Max Overlord who stole the show . I do my movie reviews for Christians & #PrayTheMovies so I'm taking notes as I'm watching. The movir starts out with ALL women in 45 an other worldly Olympic- style contest & one young girl competing against the women who it turns out is the future wonder woman. She's a hot-headed competitor at the time (great job by Lily Aspell). p 132 I commence my prayer during the movie including for JimLin & Eagles, & Knights, & the bad axis, I call it super prayer for Super Bowl Sunday & continue to pray for the unity of the body of Christ, & for Tom Brady to repent & be baptized & accept Christ. I found out a little bit more about TB over the last few days. HE actually went to a Catholic school & was an altar boy at a Catholic church so he has some Christian background (or Catholic), but doesn't sound like he's fully embraced it as an adult so we just pray for him to fully jump onboard & we continue to pray for President Trump & Washington DC, & the scooter girl, & for the victims of persecution & victims of terror & trafficking. Hear 0 my prayer Lord - super prayer.- In the name & blood of Jesus I command all demons out of here. You have NO legal rights here. Jesus is Lord . Resist the devil like a roaring lion. Let there be light. Wonder woman wished she could see her boyfriend one more time - kind of a corny movie. They show the Washington Monument in the movie where I just was a few weeks earlier on January 6th - a infamous day in American history. I was there but did NOT do anything illegal. " I wish to be you" says the bad guy (pedro pascal) in the movie - he wants to be the dream stone. Prayers for unborn & the unreached & the unreceptive. "/ WISH we could save the unborn" I say to myself quietly. I'm actually the ONLY person in the movie theater at the moment. I get the whole thing to myself. I could yell if I want. God is great God is great. Prayers for prisoners, orphans, widows, do NOT be anxious about anything . One body one spirit. OUR citizenship is in heaven. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Also prayers for Pat Mahomes who seems to already be a Christian & I noticed his mother is on Twitter 8c she tweets a lot of strongly evangelical-style Christian tweets- which is good. Also prayers for gronk & AB (Antonio Brown) p 134 let there be light -super prayer, for the elderly, justice, gospel mission, Calvin College, hope wisdom, truth, the special ones,Missy, Kim, Rachel, Barb, repent. Moral dilemma: they need to destroy the dream stone which, or who, is actually now one of the characters in the movie. But in order to do so they have to first ask for their wishes to be reversed & some of them don't want to do so . This is good sermon material: be careful what you wish for. I continue to pray for repose of souls of Gareth Ada Katherine, Helen Leo Nancy, Julius, Moose, Gundy, Cortina, & so many more that I pray for on a regular basis including Doug, Rick, Butch, Kurt, Z, & some of my alive friends or former friends or classmates Ron Foo, Ed Durkin, Kimo, Ed Perez, et al. Character in the movie says "/ wish that the traffic would part like the red sea." The power of positive thinking. Prayers for athletes for Christ, for victims of terror & trafficking . super prayer for JimLin, for mustard seeds, hope, for Dallas First Baptist Robert Jeffress Pastor. Fruit of the Spirit. One of the characters in this movie looks like Brent Gates who I knew around 1984. Chaos in Washington DC in the movie & literally at the moment in Washington DC as they transition to a new fake president, prayers for Scootergal. p 136 Our labor for the Lord is not in vain. Can the world be saved ? They're wondering in the movie. #PrayTheMovies: The lady in the movie says " / want to be an Apex predator " & then she loses all morality. She goes from a bumbling clumsy researcher to this - like the fall of 46 a good angel. Prayers for Eagles & Knights, for DJ & kornhorn , for Jack & Keith, for the diekemas, for George Noory, for Gary, & Hillary, & Shirley, for Brian, for KBMD, HBMJ, super prayer. In the name & blood of Jesus I command all demons out of here. You have NO legal rights here. Jesus is Lord get out Satan you have no legal rights here . p 137 We pray for the oppressed, the marginalized, the afflicted, for hope, for everybody everywhere - a mustard seed of faith a seedling *f. Mutually assured destruction (mad)- all the characters are starting to say "I renounce my wish" except not the one who became Apex predator -not yet anyways -sort of like eating the forbidden apple but in this case they CAN reverse it. And that's about the END of the movie. Wonder Woman ends up saving the world I d again. Then I stopped in at another movie since nobody's around & I watched a little bit of the movie called The Marksman with Liam Neeson . He's trying to take a Mexican kid cross-country in his pickup truck to Chicago while being chased by drug cartels who are angry at the kids' father. Prayers for Jack & Brenda & Charlie p138 & for Tom Brady & the Buccaneers . Why did both of my phone batteries died on January 6 at the same time is a mystery - might have been God's way of keeping me out of trouble. I might have ventured over to the Capitol Bldg. Praise Thank Love the Lord: magnify unify Glorify. . Suddenly the kid speaks English in the movie -the Marksman- the kid has a cross t around his neck. Prayers for scooter girl - super prayer- trust.responsibility, goodness, grace, mercy. Prayers for Trump & Latinos & blacks - all skins & prayers for JimLin p 139 Prayers for Andy . They kill his dog in the movie -he buries his dog- that was the last straw- you could see something switch in him. One of the few white males (apart from the star) in the film is depicted as a crooked cop as well as a few white border patrol. This movie has a liberal agenda & they slightly try to defame President Trump by subtle comments concerning the border as if he's to blame ie "Can you guarantee he will get asylum the way things are right now? " That's too bad. They ruin a movie when they inject their liberal agenda into the story. Liam Neeson plays a former Vietnam veteran - a silver star sharp shooter. Pop-Tarts & seatbelts . We pray for the military, mentally ill .first responders, clerks, workers, JimLin, Tom Brady, hoodship , angels & Saints . Holy Spirit. They burn the cartel money <£ . They don't want anything to do with it. p 140 We Pray for the persecuted, PRCH pure righteous clean & holy, & also pine rest hospital, for Latinos, February 3: slept at Tampa Holiday Inn,- started out the day at St Lawrence Catholic Church right down the road from the Super Bowl-literally - ie Raymond J Stadium |§- 4 days from now - they're having an honors students mass. After that I drive by the Super Bowl & take a few pictures - it's all decorated for the big game . And then I passed by an Asian market - the only places that sell butane gas for my little portable stove - not sure why only Asian markets tend to have that. Then I go past the Super Bowl Experience in downtown Tampa by the RiverWalk J.m I . None of it's really that exciting this year because it's all been scaled way back for covid. Right near there is also the Henry Plant Museum which is an incredible piece of architecture & apparently part of Tampa University. It is a public museum -but you need to pay the admission . There's also an art museum downtown. From there I go to Bayshore Drive which is nice- some great old houses along the Bay. Stop at Ballast Point Park where there's a little pier. Twice this week I've seen Osprey flying with fish in their talons -still alive-just plucked out of the water. It's really cool to see that. p 142 #WalmartEvangelism t J* nJj: And I found some hot dogs ^without nitrites - they actually 47 taste pretty good. I haven't had hot dogs in a while - cooking them on my little stove. Thank you Lord thank you Lord 10,000. Around high noon I leave Tampa heading north - it's time to go back west & it's good I left when I did because in retrospect I dodged the big ice storm in Texas by a few days, City of Palm Harbor, Pinellas County 2:30 , City of New Port Ritchie, Pithlachascotee River, ft Tate McRae "you broke me first' ft 3:10 p.m. A plastic lid flew off the pickup truck in front of me & hit my windshield. Fortunately it just smudged my window- didn't crack it. So I pull up next to the pickup truck at the next light & it's two ladies in there . I tell him them to roll down the window & I say "the thing just flew off " & they're like looking at me puzzled . I repeat" the lid just flew off & hit my windshield". They still didn't understand me. I drove off. They, will figure it out when they pull over & notice there's no lid on their container in the back of their truck. That was on Highway 19 I think in Aripeka or Hudson. Dream re car overheating. Chassahowitzka wildlife area. Weeki Watchi 3:30 p.m., Citrus County 344, City of Inglis & Withlacoochie river.

Whoever change it last time put in the wrong kind. It's not the green kind I need it's the DexCool (orange) -a special kind for 48 GM vehicles says the guy. Hopefully it didn't mess it up too bad. After they finished, however, I didn't get any hot air from my heater so I had to come back & the guy behind the desk tried to give me a scare tactic & blame me but then the mechanic came out & said " it just needs to be burped". I waited about 15 minutes & it was good to go- everything was working fine. Then I went to the Walmart & started doing some evangelism in the parking lot & a guy named David with the letters APASM on his tag tried to tell me to stop. I was "caught being good'. I said I have a right to do this. We argued a little bit. I asked to talk to his manager & he tried to claim he was the manager but in fact he was NOT. He was a security guy. As we enter the store he calls me "brother" as if he's a fellow Christian. I said well if you say you're a brother & you just follow the law then you're NOT following the spirit or the spirit of the law - I'm not sure you can call me brother. 420 p.m. P 148 from Destin the next city going north is Fort Walton .

February 5:1 slept at Holiday Inn in Fort Walton & I first went to Mass at St Mary Church ^ at 8:15 a.m. & sat behind the class of elementary school kids - a big belly priest came by & talked to the teacher right in front of me for a few minutes . From there I left & went back into Destin to the snorkeling spot where I had snorkeled before in the middle of the summer a few years ago. It's a great spot -lots of fish- but in February it was pretty cold & even though it was cold I went in the water intending to snorkel but there there was no visibility - the water was cloudy. There were a few models being photographed out there. I only stayed about 30 minutes after swimming a few laps for exercise. Back in the vehicle I'm praying for the unity of the body of Christ, plus Africa . I tried to stop the squeal on my engine with some spray that I already had but it didn't work so I bought some special belt spray & tried that - it seemed to work but periodically it keeps coming back -so I spray it again .

Afterwards I explore Mobile which has an annual porch decorating contest & they really do it up for Mardi Gras which is coming in a few weeks & they also normally have a parade & today would have been that day apparently - but it was canceled because of covid & of course it's canceled in New Orleans as well. Too bad so sad -one of the signs on a porch says "Do they really think they could cancel Mardi Gras"? Maybe there will be an unofficial parade later on.

Then I went to the Melrose National Park Place which has a big mansion & a few buildings - & a ranger sitting inside one of the buildings & she said " hi how are you?" but you're not allowed to go in & get too close to her because they're afraid of covid- so you have to yell thru the window across the room - very bizarre. After that I passed by the historical place called Auburn - an Antebellum House. It's like every house around here is a historical site, p 155 Then I passed by Longwood estate also historical, & I went to Mass that evening at St Mary's Basilica & slept at a hotel across the Mississippi River from the state of Louisiana.

So Buccaneers get good field position. Now it's 3rd & 4 & an interception - but a holding penalty before the play - big break for Tampa Bay. 1st down again.

Approaching Carlsbad Caverns- haven't been here since when we went as children with our family back in the 70's I think. I just wanted to drive up there - not planning on actually doing any of the cave tours - how much can a cave change - 40 years is really a short time for cave evolution. Repent DJ.

Sports talkers I like on the radio include Doug Gottlieb, Clay Travis, Colin Cowherd but I DON'T like Jim Rome too much. He's a little too macho sometimes. The guy only played tennis in high school -its not like he's a successful former professional. And he mocks things that he knows very little about - like an adolescent -he's superficial. Luna County 153 p.m. a, border patrol agent was tracking human footprints as I drove by - wow. I need to remember the border patrol in my prayers as well along with the first responders. Had brief conversation with Latino Border Patrol - nice guy- said he took his two daughters one time to North Carolina & did the straight shot & remembers how long the drive is: sleep, drive, sleep, drive...I told him I didn't do it as a straight shot really -1 took my time &. have been gone since before Christmas. Although I am doing it pretty much as a straight shot coming back right now from Florida - Not going out of my way for tourist spots or to take hikes & things like that.

They were definitely not comfortable around my human presence - tells me they were probably wild - this may still be part of the Indian reservation . City of Quijotoa Pipe Organ National Monument 1136 . Visitor Center 12 noon to 12:30 ate lunch there. A lot of the scenic roads are closed for some reason- so not much to do here. I went down one road & passed by a border patrol truck & tried to wave him down but he kept going. I wanted to ask him whether this was a scenic road worth going down . No data here - no internet. I drove a few miles past Organ Pipe to Lukeville border crossing - there's a gas ft station here - turned around. Next city is Ajo at 1:30 p.m. They have a gigantic copper mine here - not sure it's if it's still being used or not. This is a little bigger city -medium size- 2 gas stations at least. And an artsy area with lots of murals. Passed by Barry Goldwater Air Force area (I saw him in person one time - he came & spoke at the Burbank Library several years ago promoting his book. Sudden epiphany: fact is the Kennedy Brothers used Marilyn Monroe like a tramp -they may have contributed to her depression & suicide - Not sure where that sudden realization came from but it's based on stories I've heard & read over time. Speaking of the Kennedy brothers - when I was substitute teaching a few times I was called to a school that was actually built on the site of the Ambassador Hotel where Robert Kennedy was shot in Los Angeles in 1968. They had built what was dubbed as "the most expensive high school in America" on that site - it took so many years & so much work because of some of the topography there . But they actually preserved part of the area where Kennedy was shot &. killed - They integrated part of 55 the old hotel into the new building. So I explored it a little bit while I was on lunch break. It's right there on Wilshire Boulevard. P182 border checkpoint 208 p.m. Officer Figueroa wanted to open my side door. I said " Wait - its an automatic door & right now at the moment there are things blocking it so it would cause it to stall". That caused them to be more suspicious so they opened up my back hatch &. looked in & he came back kind of apologetically said "Oh are you an American?" I said yes & then he said "Have you been camping?" I said yes . "Okay good go ahead'.

CHP sitting on the side of the road 1145 - getting paid to do nothing -remote Road why is he around here ? P184 I drove to Anza Barrego c j one time a few years ago at the best time of year - in the spring when the flowers H were blooming- incredible - but right now it's too early - no flowers blooming -just dusty. But not that hot. I took one little scenic side route for about 2 miles - no big payoff -not much to see. I continue towards Julian - Isabel -Ramona 2:11 p.m. all the way to Del Mar & then Encinitas where I spent the night. February 12th Friday. Billboard for the74million.org -some sort of education website - don't know much about it - this is NOT an endorsement. Back in So Cal again - everybody for themselves on the road - worse than Tampa. Billboard for attorney Norm Pattis. Made it to Huntington Beach - yelling man disturbing me at night 2 a.m. I yelled out my window: "shut up"- this used to be a nice area. February 13th Saturday: - had my brakes checked out at the American Tire Depot - turns out one of the wires is broke -causing a false flag- ie a false signal - but the pads & mechanical functions are all still good ,,.. So I can pay about $700 to get that wire fixed or I can just keep driving it with the false light on my dash. I guess I'll choose the latter for the time being. From there I went over to Sunset Beach around 1 p.m. - took a #prayerWalk Jm \ & just sat there in the sun | for a while, counted the barges- many more than I've ever seen -1 counted about 32 . Apparently because of covid there's not enough dockworkers & or truck drivers in the containers are backing up not even enough space & the barge is just have to wait out there in the ocean some waiting for seven days. Angry black man yelling. From there I drove back over to Palos Verdes - Redondo Beach -made it to St Margaret Mary for 4 p.m. mass- they're still doing it outdoors here while some in OC are indoors after the Supreme Court ruling said it's okay. P187 February 14th Sunday: 9 a.m. I went to Rolling Hills Covenant Church -first time back there since March of 2020 when it was still indoors -now they're under the big top tents in the parking lot & have all the technology set up . Sam Evans is now the lead preacher at least temporarily. He's a bit too alpha for my preference. St John Fisher -^up the hill is back inside -I went there for a little while but actually just observed from 56 the outside. It was actually kind of fun when they had it briefly outdoors - a little more unruly & less people trying to impress with fancy suits . By the way there's some churches that are so well off that you get too many of the lawyers & accountants taking jobs as ushers or deacons or greeters just as a way to pad their resume & they become too professional inside the church. It sometimes feels robotic & artificial rather than a place where you can relax a little & socialize & feel less judged & concentrate on being with the body of Christ in fellowship and worshiping and praising the Lord. From there I went to St Lawrence Martyr down the hill where they're having Mass both inside & outside depending on the time & day. And I went to Redondo Beach for a #prayerWalk Jm I & swim. Then for evening mass I went to American martyrs in Manhattan Beach- they're still combination indoors /outdoors but not using the main sanctuary. Afterwards I stopped over at the Ralphs & bought some butter, peanut, butter, & bread f . Last few days I've been praying for Australia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, the elderly, & of course PTL mug. I randomly choose a new country to pray for everyday until I pray for every country in the world P 187 February 15 Monday: 8 a.m. St James Church is back inside -in the big sanctuary. I peeked in but didn't go all the way in. Did some maps # t evangelism, & took another #prayerWalk J± I, & swim at Redondo - powerful waves - the water is cold but refreshing. February 16th Tuesday: 8 a.m. went to St Lawrence Martyr ^Church again indoors. Then I continued black-&-white dictation progress, took another #prayerWalk A J. & half swim at Redondo - sunny but windy. Waves were kind of mushy. Continue black-8s-white dictation. Scheduled payment to Capital One for $9, & 222 to Auto Insurance, & also scheduled a blood / donation. Had a lunch of beets, nuts & raisins . Recent prayers for Zeeland, South Africa , & PTL MUG, Hoodship breakthrough 10,000 10,000. February 17 Wednesday: stopped in at the office around midnight. Then I went & donated blood at 8 a.m. & from there I went over to the unborn .$> rally outside the Planned Parenthood in nearby Tustin - holding my sign & praying for the unborn •!•. #WalmartEvangelism t m,m y j in Irvine- a guy was asking for signatures to recall Newsom - I've already signed it but he said I could sign it again if I signed it before the end of last year. I passed out a few Christ cards in the parking lot & one lady snapped at me - persecuted for righteousness sake. Back on the road a cement truck started honking at me wanting me to go faster. Well buddy, you can pass me if you want but I'm driving the speed limit . He stuck out his middle finger at me as he drove by & I took a picture- I'll contact his boss- & posted it on Twitter to shame him. Where were you when you heard that Rush Limbaugh died ? I was leaving the blood donation center - couldn't believe my ears - we knew it was coming but I didn't think it was going to be this quick. Rest-in- peace: * ^ t very sad - he was such an inspiration -optimistic - even in his critical conservative commentary he came off as encouraging &. kind but strong. From there I went to Newport Beach & took a swim in little Corona del Mar - hadn't been here in a long time. I used to come here almost every day - a beautiful little Cove. Sometimes there's good waves for body surfing or when it's calm it's good for snorkeling 343 p.m. I resume black-8i- white dictation. No reply yet from JimLin . The cement mixer who honked & flipped his finger was either Gary Bale from Redi-Mix or one of his workers -based in Irvine. Later, still in Newport Beach a guy opened his door wide open into traffic & jumped out just as I'm driving by & I had to swerve & hit the braked to avoid hitting him . I honked & he yelled F.U. as if i was the bad guy. Good grief-spoiled white boy driving his daddy's car - reckless behavior 57 - & that's how bicyclers , - get hurt pretty badly or when cars DO hit the door its the end of your door & it's YOUR fault -the one who opens the door. But it messes up the other car's front end as well. p190 Another problem around here is that LA people don't apologize - when I say LA I mean all of Southern Cal including OC. Even when it's their fault LA people will NOT apologize - they will DOUBLE DOWN & make things worse for themselves 8i/or others. It's a perversion & there's a real problem with hit & run around LA as well. People want to avoid ALL responsibility & avoid all blame -really sick selfish culture . Even with all the churches & a lot of churchgoers I wonder how many of these selfish people include those you see in church on Sunday. Finally a response from JimLin - she says she will pass on my thanks to the Peter sisters in Olympia for the birthday * cards . P191 February 18th Thursday: now at Our Lady Queen of Angels j H in Newport Beach - this is where Kobe Bryant attended. I come here every now & then- so here I am at 8:30 a.m. -they're back indoors now- as I walked down an aisle an Asian gal does some ludicrous exaggerated social distancing as we pass each other -ridiculous virtue signaling - ignorant of real science. Prayer of the day yesterday was Tanzania & today is Germany plus a groan prayer. Making progress on black &. white dictation - now it's complete - yay d§ j£ • Then I take a swim at Newport, noon to 1 . Now starting red dictation - about 200 pages - slow going - to dictate from notebook to my phone and then edit it to make it readable takes about 2 weeks $}. #PrayTheNews: still thinking about Rush Limbaugh who died yesterday & all the news about him. February 19th Friday: St. Vincent de Paul 0 Huntington Beach - back here for the first time in a while - they're indoors again. P192 Prayer of the Day for Finland, Stanford, secular liberalism & PTL MUG first traffic B of the day 9:15 a.m. near Disneyland - person behind me would NOT allow me to merge in front of her. Now at the dental appointment 11 a.m. in the building across from empty Disneyland - a student named Aya does the evaluation & says my teeth t#are looking much better than last time -my dental hygiene is improving. She even knew I was using an electric toothbrush without me telling her. I wonder how she knew that? Next appointment for cleaning is March 3 at 7am. One problem is that I'm grinding my teeth so I wanted to get a new mouth guard for when I'm sleeping. They made one for me last time but then I talked to the supervising doctor & she said those are not actual mouth guards - they're too fragile. Not sure what they are then but it did work for me. She thinks I should purchase a real mouth guard made at a dentist for $350 & I'm not sure I want to invest that much money given the way I chew through things. I've also tried football mouth guards which are molded to your mouth using boiling water but they're a little too thick & I chew on them as well. Now I'm trying chewing gum & it's actually working - so I might just stick with this big wad of sugarless gum in my mouth. I can take it in & out & it'll last for a while & its cheap. After the dental appointment I go to the Wendys near the Crystal Christ Cathedral & buy a large Frosty from a lazy female Latino clerk going thru the motions - she called me honey or sweetie which is incredibly INAPPROPRIATE for my age. I'm 54 years old now & a productive member of society -well educated and a good citizen. But that's how these passive aggressive Latinos operate in southern cal. And the males will call you 'boss' in a sort of a sarcastic pseudo- respect for you as a person . It's really cowardly passive aggressive behavior. And if you confront them about it they lie like little chickens \, and say they meant it affectionately or 58 respectfully - so the best thing to do is to mirror them - however they address you- you say the same back to them. I spend the rest of the day working on red dictation. Then I go to stations of the cross at the Christ cathedral at 6:30 p.m. & of course this used to be the Crystal Cathedral founded by Robert Schuller and the reason why my family moved to SoCal back in 1984 and so it has a lot of significance to me even now after it's changed hands because it definitely changed the trajectory of my life forever. February 27th: 8:45 a.m. making another blood donation. This was NOT a good experience . I decided this would be my last time here . Then I go over to the evil Planned Parenthood for The Unborn 4rally - holding my sign . From there I go back again to the Walmart in Irvine. This time I bought some new shorts & a new t-shirt & some skin lotion. Problem is they DON'T allow you to try clothes on anymore because of covid- so you have to hope that it's the right size - otherwise you have to come back and return it and wait in line and all that crazy stuff. It's ridiculous. That same guy is still collecting signatures to recall Gavin Newsome. Back to Newport Beach again- take a swim ^ - good waves. Third time this week. Prayer of the day for Israel. Also prayer for the repose of Rush Limbaugh & PTL MUG. Slept in Newport Beach. February 21 Sunday: 8:30 a.m. Mariners Irvine ^ church. I like it better here now that the service is outdoors - still outdoors- & it's very nice. I hope they stay outdoors . Then from there I go back over to the Our Lady Queen of Angels 10:15 a.m.The priest was asking for money during the homily for seminarians. I browse a copy of the OC Catholic - the diocese newspaper for Orange County -& they're actually showing an article here about the Bible Biden used for his inauguration -like they're giving him legitimate respect calling him a Catholic - even though they know he's totally AGAINST pro-life & he's FOR abortion - which means he should not only NOT be allowed for communion at any Catholic church but he should be excommunicated . VERY bothersome that they're giving him respect, maybe more so than they ever showed to Trump just because he calls himself Catholic & they want to identify with him as such. The Bishops in a lot of these Catholic Dioceses are very weak *. Now it's actually getting pretty warm 11 a.m. supposed to be around 70 degrees today. Took a nice swim at Corona del Mar - no waves this time -less windy as well. Prayer -of the- Day for both Koreas- north & south - & PTL MUG. And for Latinos- also #PrayTheNews re Texas freeze -they're really struggling. February 22 Monday: I go to Our Lady Queen of Angels (OLQA) at 8:30 a.m. - the priest named Steve is an alpha -he gets a little puffed up when he sees me come in. Prayer -of- the Day (POD) for Russia & New Hope & PTL MUG . Kathryn Limbaugh is on the Rush Limbaugh Show today talking about her husband. Prayers for Sandra Van der Linde wherever she is now.
