6th Stop Screwing Up My State!
October 11, 2011
Here’s a recording that I made when I left CVS on the same day as the previous recording. I had two large bags at that time, which were difficult to carry with me. I had to carry them with me for a couple of weeks, until I had been at the Boston Public Health Commission shelter in Quincy long enough to get a locker.
Then, as I’ve already mentioned online, I was at a shelter in Boston that lets you stay for 6 nights in a row, without a lottery, as long as you stay for those consecutive nights. It was near the end of September, and I thought I would probably have to pay my locker rent for the month of October, but it was the middle of my 6 days at the shelter in Boston. I called the shelter in Quincy and was told not to worry about it, to complete my 6 days in Boston and then go out to Quincy to deal with my locker.
When I got out to Quincy, as planned, my locker was empty. Although I hadn’t enjoyed carrying two heavy bags with me all the time, I’d rather be doing that now than for all of my clothes besides what I’m wearing, one shirt, one thin, ripped, stained sweatshirt that I got after my other things got taken, one other pair of socks, and a couple of pair of underwear to be removed from my life. Things don’t get donated in my size very often, and, when they do, they’re often not in good condition.
The beginning of the recording shows me trying to balance the bags as I’m walking and talking.
I’ve continued to see the Stowe, Vermont ad that shows a hot air balloon on some of the Boston public busses here. If I’m recalling correctly, it also has a picture of someone in a red shirt. I repeat my protest from the recording, Stop Screwing Up My State!
