Day 9 (11/13/14): When will I ever learn not to drink a 44 ouncer of diet coke when I already have to pee? So I am walking by a gas station and have to go. I walk in and feel obligated to buy something in exchange for using the restroom so I buy a ginormous diet coke. Um then I realize they dont have a restroom. So I walk closer to the beach and stop at a smoothie place and get an acai berry smoothie that is a superfood! Hopefully it creates a super bladder! Once again, I discover way too late that they dont have a bathroom. Mental note, ask about a bathroom before buying anything. So now Im a giant walking down toward the beach with a huge diet coke tucked against my chest while Im munching on a fruit-packed smoothie that requires the use of a spoon. As people stare and back away from the touristy-dressed gorilla that clearly escaped from the zoo, I wanted to scream Im not an animal! Luckily, the acai berry appeared to be working on transforming by bladder into a 20-something bladder. I finished the smoothie and drink and located a bathroom near a lifeguard station. Mission accomplished. While hanging at the beach, a number of birds flew directly at me before veering at the last possible second. Suddenly about 30 birds were positioned within ten feet of where I was sitting. Having seen Hitchcocks The Birds, I slowly got up and ran away in a zigzag pattern with my hands covering as much of my head as possible. I had lunch at a pizza place. I sat two seats away from a guy with a dog that was drooling over his owners pizza. Then the dog looked at me. He wanted to eat me and my pizza but wasnt sure how his owner would react. I ate quickly and moved on. Its only 69 today so I must find warmer weather. Stay classy San Diego. Time to head to Phoenix! The interstate keeps rising in elevation. Up to 4,000 feet. The signs caution the truckers to only go 35 mph down the steep hills. I need gas and stop at a casino truck stop. The West is nuts! I then approach a Border Patrol Checkpoint where everyone has to stop. Im fully prepared this time to explain all the apples and Mexicans in my trunk but I am waived on as I approach the checkpoint. Seemed a lot easier than in Were The Millers. I reach Phoenix safely. May take in the Fall League Baseball Championship on Saturday based on Christinas suggestion! If I can handle sitting in only 80 degree temperatures, that is.
