I sat down behind the empty bar to catch up on my writing. That’s where I met Annette, a charming redhead who also kept a journal. She said she was doing “fabulous.” Anniversary Guy dropped by with his friend Clayton. They just came from playing sunrise music. He said their friend Caroline was a “little firecracker.” I was shocked at how seriously depleted the bar was that morning. It was completely stocked just the day before, but now the shelves were almost empty. What the heck happened?

 

Jenn showed up, and we took a bike ride out to the Man. It was a beautiful morning, hardly any wind at all. The center structure inside the Man was built without using any nails; it was all joints and blocks. Still, the Man Watchers had to keep people from climbing around too much on it.  We rode around and looked at some of the CORE effigies. I saw Legba at Iron Rose camp, getting ready for more trainings that day. That’s where we were gifted some delicious dried berries. They reminded me of Crunchberries.
