how was the next weekend?

 

 

Body

 

Original Text

 

Did another trip out to LidlMcLean2022

stopping in at the Farmers Market

which doesn't take SNAP/EBT

but other(s) do,

 

Saturday Rained so going to try another farmers market

but rained out, rain during the night, and motivation ceased,

(besides the miles the day before and a lot during that week, iirc)

though not raining very heavy, enough that taking the mobility

aid in anyplace might have been a problem, might be some oil,

especially if on carpet, instead of linoliem (sp?)/ tile, etc,

 

Mood went rather low Saturday,

TinnerHillorgBluesFestival

TinnerHillBluesFestival2012

ChuckBrownAnniversary2016

ChuckBrownPassed

FusionImprobableattheKennedyCenter

 

i didn't have the money to go,

($35? + food, t shirt, etc)

and weather not great,

not even sure if it was rained out,

as an outside and indoor component

and Father's Day coming up,

which means ColumbiaPikeBluesFestival2012

likely happening this year, post

JustSayNoToConVid2020

ConVid19ContinuesIn2020

etc...

 

Free but a lot of drinkers and predatory photography,

 

Would be nice to report some good things happening

but not a lot of that going on...

 

Bike clinic cancelled because of rain, afaict...

Had an appreciation thing at a bar,

so didn't go, as AlaNotIntCon2018

ThereIsSomeThingWrongInWhoVille2019

ReDesigningTeenGroupSponsorTraining2021

don't enjoy being around drinkers,

active or not, so why put myself in that position,

in the first place?

 later in the day/ early evening,

like online training,

even if review / refresher for me,

and two or three strikes against

to start with me...

and across down, heat, traffic,

FriDay, frustrated, tired drivers,

much less bikers, and pedestrians, etc...

 

Sunday, decided to try LidlMcLean2022

again, had set aside some FunPops

(brand name (artificially) colored

sugar water in plastic tubes,

N.B. need scissors,

knife to open if want to save teeth)

 

that were in a very big forklift pallet size box

near register line closest to the door(s),

none in the freezer,

so after writing and mentioning to staff there,

after buying stuff, went back around

i cleaned hands with wipes from station by the entrance

and i put a couple in an empty upper freezer place,

only to find they had been removed/ gone,

and conveyor belts running so couldn't leave

things on empty aisle register lines,

all registers running at first,

then down to 1 by the time i got ready to go,

warm, from the ride, have been getting going later,

and past 0900a, someone wondered asked in a

Cali(fornia) like way Where are you going?

i guess i wandered a little in the car lane,

a jogger giving me attitude?

two others nearby ahead of her,

i didn't answer, wasn't sure it was for me,

and what to do with others attitude,

though probably seemed quite natural to her,

 

Others had been nice, first time out for

LidlMcLean2022

20220610AnotherPassAtTheDays.v2.HP.txt

i didn't even mention they had been running a jogging

running race/ some walking? my first time out there,

so passing and avoiding, and traffic stopped,

i asked joggers around / before Total Wine where

Lidl was, and couple blocks more,

past the bank?  (thinking BoA though there are a few)

and the road splits, stay right, and it's on the left,

new plaza? a burger place may go in next door,

some Train 7-11 and Havana Cigars?

similar stores nearby,...

 

Meantime, previous visit i had bought garden clogs

for $8 or so, talking to someone about clearance

and while supplies last, harmonica, and buy when you can,

older sale/ weekly like specials, someone likely mentioned

shoes might fit, i had been noticing far away from home

the sandals i had been wearing, mostly without socks

riding, and they were showing wear/ lots of miles,

and a sandpaper like sandal can't do much distance in,

work boots, not even broken in and those were/ are my options

for footwear, so expanding my range/

some padding inside, size 12/13?

which is big for me, but keeps some wiggle room on toes,

no strap on the back, so less on and off problems

like touching shoes, and then have to clean hands

again...

 

Talked down to by large black woman in weave,

and likely misinformation too,

they can't be refrozen, they are sugar water,

crystalization and other things, doesn't seem to matter

how many times frozen, and use as thermal

packing material, edible at that like (clean) flavored

sweetened ice, instead of say igloo packs/ gel

which take space and weight, especially after

things have warmed, instead of just drinkable

(if kept clean) water for ice, and like

bike water bottles, freeze ahead of time...

 

People have freezers, and other attitude,

turns out she's Muslim? and all working that day were?

except for the manager, the lady behind me

decided to report her attitude/ behavior,

and might have had a strike/ revolt/ firing,

idk, manager was rather politically estute (sp?),

and handled it well, possibly closing the store,

ringing up the remaining people, himself,

from what i gather,

 

i had gone to the bathroom with the mobility aid,

and saw an opening to avoid going all the way around,

doors were open, so went out the in door,

incoming was a guy wearing a black Conte bike shop

t shirt and his son?

he starts talking down to me too,

where are you going? like it's any of his business...

perhaps thinking i'm either stupid, not the case,

or upselling, etc, overloading the back,

well i have to explain (man splain if to female(s),

to skinny tired bikers, that some people carry things

on bikes,

and eventually the Gary Fisher is probably older than his son,

in a faux  how the hell are you, mf,

tone, typical of motorcycles and guys being guys,

the kids hiding, as he has to read me, he says,

and come on day, and some other things,

 

and i limp along to DC ,

late, and warm, but have cold stuff,

doing the big hill(s) down to Chain Bridge

the actual bridge, past Langley

and some keys by the gas station,

rusting, at the stop, police nearby last time

were going to go pick them up?

but haven't yet...

 

Shade in a calico/ camo sort of pattern,

from the getting to be mid day sun, and

sun transition (self shading) glasses,

and difficult to see potholes which

may upset the inner tubes used as

bungee cords, besides temperature

variations and sometimes pop off

the big metal loops on the back

of the rear rack, but luckily haven't

higher speed traffic, rich area,

and risks, acceptable to me,

and looking for(e)ward to

working on my own bike if clinic

was slow,

across town, about the way i did

the week before with soem variations,

less time wandering worrying, as

had found a route / way that got me

there and tried optimizing,

missing a turn, somewhere around the park,

and back up the big hill near Cathedral (sp?),

(and heard church bells too)

stopped in uphill traffic, seem to remember

some moto problems there too, steep hill,

and stopped on hill, not fallen, as slipped

on so much white crossing paint by the National Zoo,

leading to an ER Visit, and XRays, iirc...

but  details are fuzzy...

 

So get there had signed up,

but not checked email,

no one else where,

a tent and plastic chain post barriers,

in a parking space, so take a photo of

my bike in the space and sign

Every SunDay, and some exageration (sp?),

(fine print in season, weather

and volunteer staffing permitting,

etc)

 

Store staff say cancelled and some other things,

i say i can eat more at home,

started on a lemonade leaving the

LidlMcLean2022

and finally some food like stuff/

sugar, may have skipped meal(s)

getting going, takes hours to do that trip

and trying to plan how long ahead to leave,

thought might be cancelled due to rain,

was going to check at LidlMcLean2022

wifi, but somehow rushed though not even

connecting except to put the QRCode of my

"membership"/  number in

(phone if can't get it, and doesn't require

connecting, apparently, the app Wifi,

but the number doesn't change,

just specials, coupons, etc

amount spent so far that month/ term,

 

And just to get my whining out of the way,

almost hit a guy, coming the other way

saturday in a underpass, they are putting

barriers, which i saw on the other side of the stream/

4 Mile Run on W&OD on both sides,

and rather blind in the underpass,

shades/  transitions and guess just go forward,

any wash out, gravel and might not see it,

but he was near center line, as was i,

and very narrow, later see signs on SunDay

walk bike...

None up on Saturday when setting up,

likely sand blasting/ painting over graphiti (sp?)

,

 

But SunDay Pride day or similar festival

on the mall, going around worked, no admission

required, and ran into a couple likely PhoenixBikes

coming back, with music at a stop,

some seemed to know me,

and played leap frog, passed them again

when they took pictures, on the i395 bridge,

and i don't want to be in them...

 

The clouds broke just at the wrong time,

imnsho, going up SouthGate, narrow and

detoured away from the trees/ shade at

the edge of the cematery (sp?),

Missing Man Memorial hill is full sun too,

perhaps the other end the sculpture

The Pike i added ot gMaps

but only got very photos up,

of construction, trying multiple times

 and eating my data each,

...

 

But i digress and whine,

as usual...

 

Someone trying to get the cat food

i'd eaten, been showered and back down,

cramping up and cold, not answering the door

as usual...

They mat name the kitten/cat Midol,

though MyDoll may fit too...

Conclusion

 

Summary of experience or similar

 

Nothing much, whining again,

tired, but can sit still,

hungry now, and some things

to eat, noisy and nauseated at the same time,

artificial light and blowers/ air handlers,

cleaning agents, and used to be heat,

now in summer time, A/C?

 

Discussion

 

A place for feedback on the page presented

 

Not sure,

can you make up your own questions?

 

About how treated in Retail by

likely discriminating staff/ register people?

 

What of competing bike/ hobby orgs?

they are pros, (up)selling and you are volunteer

non profit?

And who biked there?

 

what of friednly and unfriendly

and how to determine/

changing the world?

one person at a time,

and if you laugh/ smile

and enjoy their mistakes,

perhaps knowing you can review them/

write it up?

How much more problems are likely if

frequent the place even if they don't like it?

open to the public or to no one?

 

what risks if a kid and

turns into legal action?

have parental supervision/

permission handy?

 

etc...

It's likely to be a long hot summer...

and that's if i'm (still/ reasonably) housed...
