A band, trains, and Week 30 at it's end.

New look, new adventures!
This week I got go see the Steve Miller Band ("Fly Like an Eagle").

A new year has started up at the Adcenter. Assignments are bundling up, clicks have been created and reunited and the bloody AC on one side of the building has gone haywire.

Been a good week, I'm working on a movie project, a flag, a manifesto (coming soon) and a few others. A big project I'm working on is the culture of dumpster diving, when I and Jason Searcy found an amazing culture that everyone has seen, but has probably ignored. (myself included).


As Jason and I tried our hands at exploring dumpsters, a man named Russell came to the dumpster and found amazing treasures. He, Todd and Lilly would soon be catching a train to Georgia. They and their awesome dog name Freddy were some of the nicest people I had met in my six years in Richmond.

I'm doing a little reading on them now, a few neat facts:
Railway police: Bulls
Freight train hopping started during the depression and died down after WW2. It has picked up again.
The FTRA, Freight Train Riders of America are a gang that have been down to murder anyone that is not in their group riding their train.
Train hopping is illegal.
