We were talking to people on the street and this one guy talked to us for a good 10 seconds then he said "sorry guys gotta go" and he started walking away, we looked back a bit later and he disappeared.  Wednesday: had inspections, we filed papers at the food bank, passed out food at the food bank. We always gey hooked up with food from there which is really nice. Then we helped a lady move stuff to a DI. A random chiropractor we met gave me a back adjustment which was nice. We visited people that night with some members in a trailer park and one guy came up to us and at first he looked like he was going to fight, but then he told us how he wanted to meet with us.  Thursday: planned for the week.
