okay, so i finally made it to a computer to post. here's the lowdown: we got to the yard in pensacola around 7 in the morning. after waiting for an hour, we found a train and got on. the train didn't lok like it was going anywhere anytime soon, so we took a nap. i think we started rolling around noonish. we soon realized we had chosen the sloooooooooooooowest east bound train in the yard. fuck. we stopped in the middle of nowhere frequently and in the rain. we went to sleep around sundown nowhere near jacksonville or even tallahassee. i remember waking in the middle of the night and going through baldwin. we got up around 9 and we were pleasantly surprised to find hat we were in waycross, only to be disappointed, because we were in waycross. man , that town sucks hard. we ate, refilled our water and bummed around town for a little while. originally, we were gonna wait until 8ish to lleave, but fuck that, it was only noon. we watched a few trains go by and then headed for the bridge on the outside of the yard. magoo tried to jump in to a moving boxcar with no success. he busted his foot pretty bad on a rail switcher. we jumped on a grainer and headed for savannah. the grainer we got sucked because we were being thrown around violently and we got sheetrock in our eyes. the train was hauling ass, though and we got to the savannah yard in less than 3 hours. when we got off, we asked a bunch of people for directions. nobody knows their way around this fucking town! we walked at least 30 miles across town to get to downtown where magoo knew people we could stay with. we went to this awesome pizzeria called vinnie vangogo's where you can get a slice bigger than yer head for 2 bucks!!! we grubbed out and talked to his friend who hooked us up with a place to stay with these girls magoo and corey met last time they were here. these girls are good people. they let us use their shower, do a little laundry, and we can crash at their place for a couple of days. plus their house fucking rocks and has so much amazing art everywhere. i think they're art sudents at SCAD. anyway, i just want everyone to know that me and magoo are alive and well in georgia. i miss you all very much and hope you're having a rockin' time back in p'cola. i'll try to send out some letters to my gyoza homies in the next few days, keep a look out.
