From: No Business 

To: Uncle Johnny's Hostel
Miles today: 6.0

So last night, I was cold and didn't sleep soundly. When I did get up there was snow on the ground. Fire Walker had said it was 35 degrees last night, then even colder this morning. Once i heard someone packing up, I got up, and was the first to leave, But was soon passed by Hermes. The 6 miles was kind of long, but relaxing, everything was peaceful, and finally there wasn't any fog. It was cool to see town from way up high. Once I got to the road, i saw the hostel walking in I saw Mile high, Lama legs, and Data. I hadn't seen them since the NOC when I gave Mile high some cotton candy, well i guess i did see them on that wicked climb day out of the NOC which still holds it's place as the worst climb yet. I'd be cool to hike with them, but they were heading out.I saw Found, he was telling me if I hike alone it won't be last long until some guy will join me "that's the way the trail works" I'm not sure if that's good or bad. So I got a post card for my folks. Got an AT guide which I totally should have had from the beginning. So now i will know when I pass the 400mile mark, where the grocery store is in towns, all the hostels and motels, and prices, where the next resupply place is, how to get there, very key info. Where water is, how many people fit in the shelter, ect. Anyhow I updated my trail Journal, which takes a long time, and was greeted by these two guys; Trighten, and Ducky who were extremely friendly. Then there was Harry his trail name is shit huffer. Great name....actually he was in the news for having a picture of himself "getting high of poop" I went out with them for an all you can eat pizza and salad bar, amazing! Trighten is or was an English 101 school professor at a community college and he was complaining about how immature some of his student were, raising their had to go pee, and making excuses for being late, and expecting him to care, complains about grades. But the cool thing was he cares about the outside world and other peoples needs, of his students and we also talked about Haiti and how it is just so difficult to help them a nurse that went to help, put it this way "we tried to help them, but it was as if we put a bandage on a fatal wound." I ate SO much, I piled my plate with pizza slices and got a plate full of salad, then got two more plates of pizza slices. I was so full i didn't need to go out to eat for supper, even if it was dirt cheep. Looks like I'll go for breakfast for $1.39 Bisects and gravy. "the one thing the south is good at" -someone said. i have seen 3/4 of my "group" Diva was happy to see me. He's cool I'd be more then glad to hike with him. Peach told me that in fact she hadn't gone to the movies, as they were closed, too bad. They got a cabin, i think the bunks are just fine, there's only four of us in here and 9 beds in all. I'm glad its not full. Harry and I attempted to make a fire in the wood stove. Kinda worked, I don't think it got enough oxygen, it got pretty smoky. I roasted a honey-bun, went perfect with milk. oh and with my resupply I got Bacon. At the moment Harry is attempting to start the movie its very complex, it will be a miracle if it does work. There are two very old TV's and one of the two VHS player's has a VHS lodged in it. Skippy and Kelsey are the other two bunking here. So I'm going to keep raps a tradition,Hopefully the words flow like ammuntion.Perhaps i won;t play with the same cast,but that doesn't mean this show won't be a blast.Well so far we made it safe and sound,to our first big trail town.Andy said if there wasn't a piano he'd cry,next day he'd rather say good-bye.We hiked a long ways,had three twenty mile days.I had fun hiking with Diva and Butter,Thankfully their pace doesn't make me suffer.So nice to have a bed and a pillow,and to be completely filled yo. What will happen in the future, I can't measure,but pizza's my town pleasure. Ups and Downs i won't fuss,I'm soon going to be in Damascus.
