Eddie doesn't wake up very well in the morning. This is his typical response to being asked to leave his sleeping bag anytime before noon.
We spent most of the day over at Mast Park, a rather nice place for a weekend visit. The library is right next to the main park area, which is convenient for WIFI Internet connection, and the facilities aren't bad. The people are nice too, which I was a bit surprised about.
Normally, you get into the nicer areas of a city like Santee and you run into a the cold hard nose of bigotry, especially for homeless folks. But I've acted extremely homeless several times over there, and never had a problem with the locals. The only real problem I've ever encountered was trying to get them to believe I really don't need a piece of pizza or a share of their picnic food. I suppose I could break bread with them, but today I was already full.
The city has really torn the place up though. On the map Mast park covers a lot more ground than the main park area would first convey. This back area use to be rather pleasant on the eyes, but they came in with bulldozers (it looks like) and tore out all the underbrush. While I understand the need for this, on many fronts (fire problems at the top of the list), it looks like hell right now. I suppose if they put in grass, and irrigation, it will look much better in a year or so. 
Water levels in the San Diego river are certainly up. Apparently the needed quota of water has been filled by the winter and fall rains of last year, and the last few storms this year.
I'm not feeling well. My focus is way down and my drive is less than it has been for some time. I can't even concentrate long enough to finish a movie. That should change here in a day or so, as my cycle reasserts itself.
