20220327HitAndRun.HP.txt

So CAFB day, up before sunrise,
cook/ nuke oatmeal, TJs Golden (Raisin)
(Blue|Cran)Berry Blend
but not too much water
as sitting out without a bathroom
for hour(s),


deleted Great British Baking Show DVD
encoded on HP to make space

download
update-manager --devel
to Jammin Jimmy JellyFish
Ubuntu

went long
all the way through CAFB
number one in line
0550a arrival, preDawn
upload the last thing written
in two versions,
and made a
WordCounts wc
and diff

devices, in shorts
and packed a bag of other things,
layers used biking recently,
though got a flat on the 26x2.5 front tire
again, through construction out towards Lidl,
and TheBikeHouse opened, so hoping to make that,
and put a maybe, but the updating,
install of the new OS version, developer
pre release, was gigaBytes, over WiFi,
and a conference call, that didn't work,
offline more than online
and starting to wonder about being
Denial of Service and Harassment
other times hasn't been as much of a problem,
signal yellow and red, on WiFi
looking at Zoom near the nane(s) of the people
and kept trying for 50 minutes or so,

the line started moving early, i'm the test case/
guinea pig for tech things, they have a scanner,
does the battery work? is it charged?
do they have internet connected?
and new volunteers
they started doing it differently,
bay your choices ourselves,
do you want,
frozen red thing, large,
bisque, chilis,
serving tray size, and ripped the bag,
you can have two frozen turkey rolls
those later seemed thawing,

the sun had come out and couldn't see
the screen on this device, a Hewlet (sp?) Packard
laptop donated now years ago for the wifi
digital divide pilot program, Dark Fiber
pre Pandemic and the takeover of the
Community Center nearby to the Residences,
but medical emergencies, and people waiting in line,
nistead of games, basketball, indoor hockey
without the ice, kept the rink arrangement,
that forms the outside line for vax
and boosters, and signal like library, out
onto the plaza, a kiosk o nthe corner of that
diagonal from the food distribution,
they covered over the windows, so no natural light
there at all, signs while the kiosk is running
of no photography as HIPPA Ihealth Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act or similar,
so medical somehow tRumps good health on a lot of things,
and even in profits, attitude, Marshall Law
seems to be in place, finally could go into the center
and decide for yourself about masking,
optional, suggested, but not required,
people in gowns, face shields, etc
and making it LeperVille
already AmazonVille, they paid some for
foods, and making ads of learned to deliver food(s)
the (ex?)wife of the founder showing the New York
City SkyLine, police on site, usually around Vax,
this time parked in the middle of the plaza
behind the food, and taking sides?
someone's been complaining about me,
the food line won't serve me without a mask,
i'd needed to run to the bathroom
losing signal, slightly before 0800a
opening the center director
Patrick the Second, previous patric,
neighter a saint, can't Drone fly in hte
gym, and problems with heat, blowing
burning off stuff, perhaps, a collection of
strange people card access and the elevator,
and stolen package(s), Phoenix may have taken
my SLW phone, they had dropped me,
last year in April or so,
not getting data updates,
and on G60
wehn the WiFi backbnoe pilot went down,
in teh first snow storm, never even told
would come back up, no sorry it's down
we're not going to fix it,
no tecnical knowledge around,
administration abismal,
etc, and no backup, Verizon harasses
worse than anyone, phone calls,
text, and eventualyl cut off,
juggling Lidl purchases

ComCast not any better,
kids hearing passwords,
and into my accounts,
several iterations of them are gone,
move in and hearing through walls,
listening in for private information
and getting cable, account information,
much less Social Security and no privacy to
speak of whatsoever...

Then Muslim SlumLord, while glorifying himself
on social media, gMaps on the site,
self congratualtory, then another,
all the while trying to get rid of me,
beat up on an old disalbed white man,
seems to be the sport, from LAtino
menacing maintenance to "Management"
and on to county Inspectors,
the lastest idiocy, County instpector
wants a sticker, and SlumLord wants
nothing individuating the cells,
no Xmas decorations left up,
well into the new year,
doors being painted, laundry room
being painted, and signs down about
15 minutes or the office can take your cloths,
the latest, a person outs in laundry and leaves
it there for 2 days, wondering about
filing a missing persons report,
domestic abuse and on to his third wife?
and then ListeningOrDominating

Police escort me itno the building
i needed a bathroom and someone's complaining,
can i have a mask? they started requireing it,
another way to eliminate people,
waiting for hours before volunteers even show up,
before the Trusk, this time just one,
preDawn, i'm thinking learn some time lapse photography
like Beach Dawn and sunset,
without the drinking SunDowners,
but not gotten around to it,
a stand, tripod, leaving it there,
and a CAr Free Diet tent / canopy showed up,
had a bag, wants information, works for Henry
likely and drives a car there with canopy,
more marketing than
talk to Henry about getting a cargo eBike
and walk the walk/ bike the bike,
hike the hike themselves,
you see they have been marketing at the
AFAC wareHouse, from BAC BikeAdvisoryCommittee
meetings on M$ Teams, virtual and self
congratualory we haven't had security issues,
but M$ has such a bad taste in my mouth/
makes me sick, since MCI and
WorldCom, OS/2 and abandoning
Presentation Manager
while i'd been offered meeting Gates,
i refused, research stuff more interesting
than business and money, and then the move
to Colorado Springs, about the time
other things were unraveling,
into further depression, suicidality
and homelessness,
but it digress...

Health concerns, eye sight, drop into
Vision/ eye/ Lens(e)Crafters
and they don't take walk ins,
last month, finally get my POBox changed
on teh drlvers license, and applied for SNAP
they won't approve that until everything matches,
and an insurance verification for driving,
only do occasionally and invested $200 in
JBI parts and suppplies, a few low cost tools,
and then Lidl offers bike shorts, bib
and regular, $10 each, $20 USB charging headlight
sets, a bike stand for $40, i'd gotten two
Aldi ones year(s) about, and can onl find one,
so going Routes of Change non motored,
and gave up my license, no phone to call
insurance to verify, i'd paid yearly
and then got a discount for years of
good service, paying 10 years and become
some what of a publicity thing,
and other personal information,
the app goes to an old unused email account
and the security one is on an older one,
so the app there is no help,
kind of like Dominion energy can can't get
my balance, so been paying $50/month,
and then tehy demand more or shutoff,
so another $50 plus fees 1.65 or so
for paying online, through some service,
and Washington Gas, using a service too,
but lower bills and send one paper,
so know balance on that, easier to pay off,


anyways, stick around last one there,
was first one there too,
used the bathroom twice,
come back to my screen still bright,
someone logged themselves in,
or kept it/ 
looked at it?
or unlikely a quicky bathroom trip,
and i'm over talkative, being up the night,
in the cold for hours, and soray,
and other disinfecting/ etc
druggies, and other problems,
flushing the system bilge pump/sump pump,
and other things, likely
you see they like happy people and
those that do marijuana/ Pot,
not legel, in small quantities, but smoking
in the parks, etc
but like other smoking people are inconsiderate,
illegal in the parks, so illegal in the community
center, and other problems, relief on getting
food, finally ,and can leave when i want,
zoom not working, got food(s) asked about
different boxes, found labels last month
of different contents, see they have
packing list on the outside,
yeah,, they think they are all the same
this time, beets intead of pineapple,
beets i don't like pineapple i do,
it was in a plstic ontainer, already
cored, and left laying around, seen
left out, trash, for day(s), after
as well as cardboard boxes, wanted to suggest
the recycling cardboard, but not gotten
around to it, hit with a laptop/ handwarmd,
old technology creates excess heat,
not freezing and couldn't use the device
in sub freezing temps, but this just cold
people's hands getting numb,

i'm in shorts, on a wheelie/ rollenator/
rolly saves sitting on the cold concrete no
chairs/ just ledges, and metal prevent from
skateboarding metal ridges, built in,
like arms on benches in the middle so can't lay
down/ sleep, use for homeless, and people sleeping
in the plaza, likely cleared before even i get
there, the drunks and druggies leaving doors
propped, someone taped over exit doors,
propped with sticks/ etc, the taped one
narcan label/ lid/ and front door with
the doormat, left the whole place open,
i wake to that and closed it all up,
no security to speak of,
and food left out, a tray of eggs,
in an Amazon box, that's going to go bad,
needs to be refridgerated, my long trip
on new week sales, some discounted
bike stuff, try the tool bag $10
or less, a small multi tool, have the
Aldi one, and ordered one through the warehouse,
but still can't find what i need,
tire levers, sockets, not just hex keys,
and soemone on my last lone bike ride,
previous week, wanted something siting
on a bench, a black woman, flowers/
ribbon on the seat, and i don't have
a large one for doing a seat safely,
and no safety for me, if it goes wrong,
i tell her of the likely death nearby
a chemical toilet there, and now another,
bike by long enough and learn that
people died at about each intersection
of the trail with now fast be comparison
country toads, i'd like riding out there,
on moto, now been 9 years since my
my first and only Florida trip
DayTona Florida, spring break,
and on to the Keys, my grandmother
had wanted to go, got eye surgery
and grandfather with Parkinsons had died,
she left alone, hit lieterally by a truck
driving and died soon thereafter,
i'd been too budy to go up and take her
with and go to Florida, after my father died
heart failure, got the moto,
and started welding classes, finally a spring break,
and go myself, camping, like track days
learning paacking a tent, and other trailer,
Trailer Week, instead of Bike WEek,
and later that year Sturgis, thinking see
kid Rock out there, but books a year in advance
at least, end up sleeping on rest stop benches,
not finding open hotels/ motels, storms
and soaked, but leared already how to survive
that, warming at rest stations, hand dryers,
etc...
and just missed a Spring Break here,
already warm and SamHolmesSailing with a Hobie Cata
putting out videos some of the Keys i've been to,
moto there, and quiet beaches,
kept going to one open, find a space crabs
not rats in the holes on teh beach,
solar composting toilet(s) ,but no senior
discounts, as most of Florida is seniors,
until the storms/ hurricanes, etc...

Anyways, post CAFB
say maybe to Bike mechanics first day of the season
Volunteering, checked on by cold woman last staff there
got home and cook the turkey, skipping the trip,
too tired, ground turkey roll partially frozen,
reusing large cast iron skillet from chicken franks,
warming, scraping with a spatula as browns and thaws,
and add a can of pinto beans
and large can of tomatoes, diced this time not
crushed, that's not that different than sauce/paste,
if dryer...

eat that, a pound of turkey cans of tomato/
beans, and full, so down for a nap,
up predawn, and a full day just doing an
upgrade on this, over wifi takes hour(s),
not as memorable if done at home on
free wifi, than out in the cold, but getting
warmer, and sleep necessary tripophan,
the great american snooze, ThanksGiving,
foot ball games, etc...

anyways, ice cream/gelato pint for dessert
had cereal too, start the multigrain latino
cheerios copy in a bag,
someone warning me i'd have problems with the food(s),
last woman out, telling me of a Rock and Roll marathon/
half marathon, but not the route, would it be
marine corps route GW Parkway, i've volunteered
as ride marshall on old rides, closing down the parkway,
last year i'd walked the parkway,
April 1 Vaccine day in CrystalCity,
AmazonVil(l)eHQ, the BigScrew,
and let hem complain, the most american thing we do,
someone carrying thigns to the car for people
boxes are heavy, someone unpakding to a backpack,
leaving the cabbage behind, and a beet, it seems
too kids went by and thought it a hackeysack
and kicked it across the plaza,
just don't step on it,
no cans to speak of this time at all,
someone(s) thinking dumping chinese foods
on Americans likely a pay American
instead of overseas imports, Nationalisms
someone's been shooting homeless,
in DC and NYC, caught? or just press,
not online and watcing broadcast (News?)
enough to know,...

Well up hour+ later, getting to be afternoon,
TBH hours are over, had i changed and done
tired/ tube repair(s) and gone over and up,
but don't have to be there at opening day,
there will be low staff days, that need to be filled,
and doing my part/ bit for discounts/ warehouse ordering,
benefits, other benefits, something with SANP/EBT
get a $120-150 ART Bus card, in a nother pilot,
but cann't be used with other discounts to double,
the walked in the rain to renew the Reduced Fare
and half price, so problems there,
and just ART, and don't liek motored,
just emergency return use, and not Metro,
walker / rolly to parts pickup, St. Patricks day
all the way up near Chevy Chase,
public library wifi use up that way,
DC testing drop offs, and home kits,
done differenly than kiosks in Arlington
a guy on a bike asking about what was going on,
i say he can squeeze throuh between returning
truck to pickup things, reamining food(s)
hour(s) out, still cold/frozen, and canopy
and the CAr Free diet, ironic
blocking the access to the new bridge widening
and park, he's from Minisotta,
had been to Pheoneix, i tell him about
BikeCollectives.org, and ThinkTank list,
and Bike!Bike!AnyWhere, EveryWhere,
he could learn / visit ones he's off to
Cherry Blossoms, a zoo, and crowds,
plus likely a layer of pedals / petals
like snow, but from mid west knows snow,
what is that, i forget don't get to say
the testing kiosk, right next to a food
distribution/ pantry line...
and wonder if that will make us sick...

I'd given up the license, a demoralizing
wait at the DMV, see NotBikesAtDMV
or similar old page, punched my ticket
i did the right thing, turn in license,
get ID while there, mostly can't call to check
insturance, threats of this and that,
some kids in line trying to get a first license,
somenoe older renewing?  a girl just moving,
coming in, others made an appointments
i tried, and it's a month out, for those,
maybe earlier cancellations,
and could they just call insurance for me,
the woman not having a form for what i'm
doing only apply for an ID card,
had a license most of my adult life,
since getitng asaa kid,
i've got to retest on so many things,
someone aid i'm being fee'd to  death,
$20 address change
insurance verification from that,
while waiting on SLW phone that's stolen in the mail?
or using now Blu phone(s) didn't before but can't upgrade
all out of stock, so were doing returns but not safe
with virus, so it SLW going under?
tehy do address verification with GPS on the form/
online, so that's where free public WiFi is,
a catch 22 have to have a phone to get a phone,
and if have one already then don't qualifty,
as a LifeLine only one service applies,
so dual application of for an
Afforadble Connectivity Access
or similar  which turns out to be just a $30 discount
with another provider, nto InternetEssentials
with SNAP/ for free, but providers are owed
and still don't likw their business practices,

/trailing/ straggling line
i want to keep the plates for later use...

anyways fo for the ID, been a while since DMV
and not seen , multipel trips already like
looking for the SNAP card, said was sent/
going to get 6-10 business days, or so,
10 business days, a friday, last,
and when would that come in?
get going after 1500p
turns out it's already 1620p
by the time i get to the library,
walking a big hill, someones, propping doors
again, SaturDay afternoon spring,
local beggars/ panhandlers, druggies on the corner,
watching my every move, they have to move along,
no dominating the block by loitering/ solititing,
harassing, etc...

200+ people orignially with CAFB wrapped around the
block one month i was back there, but no WiFi
access, and parking and other nightmare blocking
traffic all the way to the Pike,
but people learned didn't have to be there
early/ first, though staff/ volunteers say
when out of food, and 150 people she gave out numbers
i mentioned chemical hand warmers
he's packed some and i saw them,
i'd bought reuseable Lidl ones/ tried on one cold
morning/ day, but didn't even last the hour...
and the screen was literaly freezing / coulnd't use
smart phones in jacket pockets instead...
unitl fingers not useful too cold,
gloves not working on touchscreens,
warmer out and seometimes nice/shorts...

Library closing, start 30 minutes my internal clock
is off, took to long getting padded/protective gear up,
the construction i went past, no detour, but rocks/
get by without falling rain heard?
and maybe clar, earlier forecast was 1? mm rain/
light, then dropped the rain part,
clear forecast...

check dry outside, sounded like rain,
but not?

at library HAIL out,
and i've got to go back out in it,
kids over run the place getting books before closing
for a weekend at home,
too many, and they want to see the bunny time
i've got an AuTreat
Organizing Autistics is like herding cats t shirts on,
the mom pulls the kids aside and he's autistic,
like Arthur?
PBS show with an Autie character, i've not seen it,
previous set of kids got a show the bunny ears light up
while waiting on charging the eScooter,
more walking than wriding, and wonder when the POBox
closes, counter at 1600 and already half past that
Hail and did i go out for nothing?
brought an inner tube around neck,
carry water home, check and got ID,
not opened, in a mesh bag, and backpack,
but HP not connecting HotSpot Login screen is blank,
wonder if a aproblem with the Development version
have to check that, and use bathroom,
hail and wet is a problem eScooter and other
electronics not good with that,
show last out after bathroom,
woman's room, where's the light switch?
take my stuff, many time even ssCooter in the
bathroom but door locked on bigger one,
this female and sanitary napkins machine,
onle one key on hook, not light switch inside,
maybe the outside one? overly warm in the library,
got sick inside while charging last visit,
library as hypotherma and people sitting on the
computers, someone used the copyier, last time i
tried it didn't take bills, does it take
credit cars, that might work, the reader,
etc, i'm still voer talkative, the exercise
and geting out, soring has sprung,
but not enough to go 50-60 miles
36-40 last week, was enough but
tube went gain, old wheel, one i built
with a lot of VeloCity help
haven't been able to replicate it,
shimano DynoHub and clicking sound on
magneto light, rear new wheel doesn't
overloaded that with packages and bend/broke
rim(s), had to buy wheel sets,
differing in rim / disc brakes when want
both, and that's a have to build wheel,
much less old generic VeloOrange
unknown sizes/ ERD, etc and spoke calc
problems leading to REI problems
bought specially cut, would you check the calc
and sold me set of too small spokes for $40 or whatver,
cutting costs $1.50 / spoke for 32+ spokes
and end of me going there...

Well check with ID, put that in wallet,
later, old time system gets dark by 6p/
1800, stop in at Aldi, an over the hill/
bridge, watching for the seams,
too big for little wheels,
and off on heavy traffic, othewise up a hill
or wrong way on a ramp, down and cross,
so wait for traffic, and get to median,
a fence stops people from crossing
now new shelter after MonCuse razed,
on the old Animal Hospital grounds
clover leaf, and wait again for other side,
saturday afternoon/ getting to evening,
and heavy traffic, seasonal?
or what? shopping malls, spring/ summer
clothes?

Aldi crowded, look at peanut butter
homeless guy says i took his, left on a bus
stop, and EBT high, but need for other things,
treats for mself for getting out
macaroons, paoin and chocolate,
a gallon of spring water,
show bunny ears to kids, see the light up,
in line while waiting, can't both hold
water, counter space full, no where to set them down,
and don't use a cart, eScooter is cart,
lean over kids can press here for lighting up,
the nthe mom needs to turn off,
figure it out,
two+ preteen/tween? girls amused,
dad and mom not as much,
someone knocks over my eScooter,
propped on a corner by the exit
how did they hit that?
just leav eit down, someone else will knock over,
but they don't listen after possibly damaging it,
get out of there,
and kid on wheelchair with a frozen pizza
at the exit, say hav eto be patient,
can't just eat the frozen pizza
have to cook it first,
and was going to say something about being
an omen/ bad luck to sit in a wheel chair,
while thinking them funny and not superstitious,
on to Giant to see if have clearance stuff,
lox and bakery, yogurt, etc...

Cross parking lot, past the indian? something
restauranty, and a couple humps
a normal route various ways, walking,
biking, eSCooted before,
and stop sign, can't go on the curb cut
outs, not safe, with small 6.5 inch wheels,
and no oncoming traffic,
a dead cat skin/ fur still eft there
as well, a City Diner,
had been there with my mom
when preparing for Richmond SkyLine drive
bike tour a long time ago, bought
BOB YAk trailer there,
and mom gave me a couple bike jerseys
my first a yellow Pearl Izumi,
and light green with pockets in the back
and synthetic, late summer,
August, and vacay feeling,
went to Diner and ate to talk,
back whem mom was still alive...

SUV comes out of parking lot,
i'd had a clear shot at getting
past the gas station that has
no side walk, the gutter and curb
and into the oily/ gas and debris,
occasionally find a socket or penn
or something but sand and other problems,
and someone SUV comes out of parking lot,
doen'st look right only to not seeing
much not really even stopping i yell
HEY
i have to jump off of it, they hit
the eScooter with the left front bumper
and drive off, gunning it,
never even stopping,
i yell "God damn you!"
at a hit and run,

calming and picking up hit eScooter,
wonder how badly walk to the city diner,
the last customer oout just hit me,
you probably have their card
and woman matre d'
yeilds to the man, not seeing mask(s)
required signs, i didn't amsk but stayed
6' not sure how to phrase this,
wanted to call the police to report
but phone(s) not working
SLW phone not show nup , and past 10
business days, Phooenix may have recognized
my name, and somone claming to have,
a staffer/ new like Jessie  guy waiting to
upload and talked to briefly, they are going to
add a being neighborly to the requirements,
i'd hada bumping down the stiars, something
bike police need to know how to do,
not just YouTube JackAss videos,
BMX and skateboarders etc...
Even PBS Duncan Assistant Head Ranger
/Gully Lackey
applies as hotel guy
to impress older woman with career plans for him...
while gully's daughter wanted the job/position...

What do you want?
like trying to buy me off
and leave in a huff,
hearing something in the background,
like a police stop,
caught the person(s)
someone int he restaurant'
likely saw it,
tehy probably have an ABC off site liquior
license, as went carry out, with the Pandemic
a board sign used to be up there
grab and go,

doesn'tsay bulldoze,
ram/run over an eScooter,
and starting to think Shitty Diner
like the South PArk joke(s)...
I'd put up their sign(s) walking
and while had connectivity,
never know when need a bathroom
and businesses going under,
i guess trying to make up by
selling alcohol saturday afternoon(s)
and becoming more of a bar,
instead of diner, breakfast,
and limited hours, not 24x7
acdross from the MVC Porn Adult store,
and between the old KidsRUs ToySTore
turned moved FoodStar (turned Centros HarrisTeeter) 
across from McDonalds, some storage,
tweens and others waiting for the light
and people around probably heard and saw it,

Vision Zero and other things like a redesign
for pedestrian safety been talked about,
and seen messages about, but not handy,
how to make Bailey's CDRossroads
pedestrian safe? WABA and reporting
crashes, Arl BAC and FABB looking for
BikeToWorkDay Volunteers,
in May, a month plus out now,
and wonder it fhat was going to be the
end of me?
do some errands, buy myself some
macaroon treats,
water to boil rice/ water systems being
spring cleaned, changing clorine
chloramide? and things taste different,
let tap run for some time, and fire hydrants,
flushing the systems, much less what rust
inhibitors, and other things added
anticorrosian? not specified what that is,
anti lead, but what?

Even at $0.95/ gallon
gone up from 0.56?
1.21 or so for 2 now 1.90?
easier than being sick,
new plumbing and wasate water
into drinking and showering/
sprinkers/ ppes went out,
cleaning the water sand/filtering/
and recicrulating, need some
and cold fridge gallons/
not community center filtered,
so lots ot be done,
and little time, getting dark?
not yet at few minutes before 1800p,
safety vest and bright construction
like Husky type high vis gloves on,
and inattentive drivers don't bother
looking both ways, even listening to
yelling the other way, and speed off,
likely drunk and tried a U turn,
back going east bound,

Leaving the SCene of an Accident,
even the words don't feel right,
it's a crime,
basically hit and run,
if the eScooter is my vehicle,
then damaged that, didn't bother to stop,
and check, likely drunk,
they had served, and didn't give the name,
cooperating with the investigation,
try and dump the vehicle, claim stolen,
and card change(s), and other slimey
stuff, covering likely a problem driver,
and questionable business, poor design,
lack of attention, and probably don't
even have a license, looked small behind
a big grill and bumper, thought i mgiht
be rolled over,
barralling out of a parking lot,
wondering ita delivery person/ Uber
the other customers know who was there,
and someone lawyer like spoke up,
don't interview people in an establishemnt
that serves, they will clam up,
all the cars clam up, heavy traffic but
it's us against them,
everyone is against the poor,
and tax time and hate is high,
just another dead person along the
Pike/ Route 7 in road/ driver dominated
FairFaxCounty...

Jail time?
Hit and Run, Leaving the scene,
beligerant?

victim has a right to be angry
and someone hitting and driving off,
not looking both ways, not stopping
and leaving the scene..
