3 billboards outside ebbing , Missouri (2017)
I loved the movie "3 billboards". I went to see it at the State theater in Modesto, California on December 3, 2017. I love how the protagonist Mildred Hayes, played by Frances McDormand, went after the State by exposing their failure to act after her daughter's murder on three bill boards outside of the small Missouri town of Ebbing where she lived. Her defiance inspired the fpollowing journal entry:

3 billboards.
Fucking infuriating.
But, it helped me to work through outrageous points in my life. The Burning Bill Boards said it all. Walking out of the theater, told cutsee boy theater employee "reminds me of this mean little town." And, that the rape murder wasn't resolved (in the movie), but, lots in life isn't (resolved). That's life!

Xcellent day in San Fransisco. Crystal clear blue sky Lite traffic.
I texted a friend that I went to San Fransisco for the Phantom Toll Booth. (My favorite childhood book was called The Phantom Toll Booth). There are a number of toll booths prior to the entry onto the San Fransisco Bay Bridge from the East Bay. Toll booth 14 was run into by a truck last Saturday. The female toll booth worker was killed.
I also took the drive in honor of the story told about the dancer in the toll booth as told by Angeles Arrien. (About a bay bridge toll booth worker who danced in the toll booth because he wanted to be a dancer while the rest of the workers dreaded their time in their "vertical coffins". ) You can Google Angeles Arrien "Dance in the Toll Booth." Angeles, who died in 2014, was a fascinating life philosopher.
Picked up fourth load of Wonder Bread from Rex. Hard to deliver the bread when parked up Noe. But, I gave out a few bags of bread and buns while there. No significant encounters though. I just wasn't into it. too much caffine.

Picked up 5th load of hamburger buns 2 days ago from Wonder Bread. gave a bag to Rick who has 2 new marijuana plants growing, babies, in a big plastic cup. I gave another bag to Bearnie and his dog on Sycamore Ave bu Graceada Park.
Note: The Wonder Bread company in Modesto donated bread to me for a period of time which I passed out to the homeless. In Princton Park in Modesto, I became known as the Bread Man because of this!
Rick and Bearnie were homeless ment hat I had several encounters with. Rick would at times have baby plants with him that he cared for. Rick dint talk much. But, we connected in our own way.
An encounter happened when I engaged a homeless person and they were open to it. It always ended up healing me.
