But that two and a half-month stay up there was something. I applied for welfare almost immediately, got a haircut, and got some groceries my second day there with the help of my grandfather. At the welfare office there was a guy who looked just like my brother and has met him also in the past, he was the guard there and my grandpa introduced me to him thinking he was ok, and so I trusted him. Almost immediately he asked me could he borrow some money. So I gave him hundred dollars. He took me to his house, met his wife, but never really hungout, accept for one fishing trip. Well months went by and this guy was not paying up, several times I went to his house and his wife made excuses, and he was never there.
Finally I went over with a crowbar and I got my money then, but it took threating violence to get it. Why? And don't go to the am/pm mini-market. I went to fill up those self-help fountain drinks and there were bees around it. One actually fell in the drink, but they would not let me replace it with another one, so I walked out with nothing and they called the police, brought me back to the store, and made me pay for a drink that I never took out of the store (either that or be arrested).
