Driving

I'm trying to stop hovering around street intersections in my car waiting to see what you guys are up to on the weekends. I know I said I'd stop doing that all the time. But I was so used to doing that when leaving my dad's apartment on Saturdays that I did it again recently by habit and in a couple other places in town too. Or a few other places in town. I thought about driving around the blocks that surround an intersection. That would be as a way to check out you guys who approach intersections without violating my self ban on waiting near intersections. But that would still be hanging around an area near intersections so I guess I'll have to give that up too. I'll miss it. I can still stop and park to go to stores, but there are many stretches without businesses where I drive.

I added this part on 30 Mar 08: It's still ok for me to drive around in a neighborhood or anywhere else. And it shouldn't be considered circling around blocks to monitor any particular intersection for your guys' activity. Nothing wrong with simply driving around. If you guys want to interpret that as driving around the blocks in order to sneak up on an intersection then you guys will have to prove it. Same way for when I get out of the car to walk to a mall or store.

Driving and walking

If I lived in downtown San Diego I could pull my car over and park at lots of places because there are stores just about everywhere. Then I'd have a valid reason to stop along the street, going to a store. I'd have to get out of the car and walk to the stores but that's ok because I know it bugs you guys to see me walking in the area of your surveillance vehicles. If I was retired and lived downtown then I could walk just about everywhere I needed to go. Think about that for a while. I'd be on foot everywhere right up close and personal. But as you guys know I can't afford to move downtown right now or anywhere else.

Melbo

I meant to add to the introduction that I post as Melbo in the forums of www.OffTopic.com and www.JustAdventure.com. So I updated that today. Well I'm typing this tomorrow the 30th. Of course I can't be typing this tomorrow. Or you can't say it that way. I'm typing this on 30 Mar. It went past midnight as I was entering today's blog (Saturday 29 Mar). At least when I post the web log for Sunday 30 Mar it will show that shortly after midnight I went on Geocities, in Notepad and the various directories on my PC for this entry.

About posting blogs

I don't enjoy having to post blogs to communicate with you guys. I'm hoping it will be as I said in months past that I'll post only if you guys mess up in public or other major things. Maybe these things about the intersections are major things. If they aren't I still thought I needed to clear things up about what goes on at the intersections. I'd rather not post blogs about you guys except for whatever is really important. And I know I still post about minor details but I'm trying to put an end to that. And stick to the web activity logs if I can. And blog about things that most of the time don't mention or imply you guys.

Modified this blog on 30 Mar 08

I added to the Driving blog above that it's still ok for me to drive around in a neighborhood or anywhere else. And it shouldn't be considered circling around blocks to monitor any particular intersection for your guys' activity. It's explained fully in the second paragraph of the Driving section.
