Had to look it up, apparently The Jungle was a big, wooded area that was a giant tent city for homeless people, though the city removed everyone from it last year. I'd guess a fair number of people still live in the woods there, but just hide better.

The picture he posted was taken from a park that is literally on the north end of the jungle.

There's also Welcome to the Jungle, from Guns n Roses.

I kinda assumed that's what he was referring to ("they got fun and games"). I had no idea that was an actual place in Seattle. :stare: Sounds kinda like a much prettier/larger/less densely populated version of the Tent Cities in Dallas.

e: there's also Upton Sinclair's book.

I doubt people living in tents get the best meth. Probably not the best prices either. The poor get screwed by everyone. I guess they probably home brew though or just get a container full from China.

I've begun leaving my Gospels for those damned to.walk after society collapses, its last breaths gurgling in its diseased lungs as it's bloated weight smothers it too slowly for mercy or kindness. The Book of Fourteen, .as it chronicles the End of Daves. This is the slogan I have chose as my Word and my Law.

Well he used an emoji so I'm assuming he wasn't serious?

I mean I could totally see Dave yelling at a fire hydrant, but the cat food part I dunno.

Cat food was definitely not me. I heard I do have a twin out here though who goes by the name of Gremlin. Just detonated my phone this morning, without warning the entire frame around the usb port fractured offand now it doesnt charge or screen react at all which makes coordinating the pick up of the Civic kind of tricky.

Ive still got a roof here for a couple weeks. I;ve been making practice runs staying out longer and longer, this time it was about three days with only a couple brief stops in at the house. Honestly, I've been posting my escapist fetishist run away from it all fantasies since the first day I registered. Maybe this time since I'm out of excuses I become a traveller..

Until what, exactly? lets explore this a little. Say I decide to go fully off grid. Think long and hard about this,what will the reason for banning be? Which of the terms of service were violated? Now to be fair bans arent required to even have a point and can be totally arbitrary,m so whthen would this accomplish? I had to learn the meaning behind the phrase 'you can't save them all' the hard way. I've repeatedly turned down offers of assistance from here in multiple forms, the only thing you'd be doing essentially is sweeping away the issue, because its still there in the background but now at least you dont have to feel guilty for drinking your starbucks in your car, heater going and tunes blasting and doing anything you can to avoid making eye contact with the guy standing drenched in the rain on the corner right next to you Youd be cutting off access to my journal. Nice job, I'll find somewhere else that doesnt ban for not having a fixed address.

Now I'm heading back out to try to see what I can do about this phone issue.
