Day 300: Saving Dog Lives

300 days left and we have a new president I just found out. I didn't get to watch much coverage because I had school, so it was kind of weird to be having an unexciting time on night where the entire country is on the edge of their seat. However in spite of all this political excitment, I was happy today when I was able to block a ladies dog from running into traffic. I was alking around Capitol Park and I was walking towards a woman with a dog on a leash, when the dog spoted a squirrel and suddenly darted at the squirel, which made the woman get the leash ripped out of her hand. The squirrel ran across the street and so would have the dog if I didn't step in front of him. Just as I did, a lot of cars went flying by. The woman was really grateful, but I think I was more grateful that I didn't have to see a dog get hit by a car on my lunch break.

Day 301: Records to be smashed

The day before a presidential election and it feels like the entire country is on edge. A major change is about to happen. I am happy to see how much the entire country really cares about this election. They are predicting record turnouts for voting, including over one million more than California's previous voter turnout record. Pretty awesome, pretty historical.

Day 302: The Incredible Vent

I caught up on a lot of sleep today. But right as it got dark I figured that I should get out of the house at least for an hour. So I hopped on my bike and did another Sunday night ride. My roommate got home right as I was about to leave and wanted to watch a movie.  I told him I would be back in an hour and we could watch a movie then. I rode all around, but there was nothing going on and I kind of got bored, so I headed back home. Before we sat down to watch The Incredible Hulk, we started talking about our own various issues in life at the moment. I was really happy to have some one to honestly vent to. It's been a while since I could get everything off my chest to someone. It was good. The movie: not so much.

Day 303: All your Dreams are at Hotel Marshall

The scariest place I've ever seen in Sacramento is a slum of hotel called Hotel Marshall. Nothing but slime live and hang out there. I have always wanted to get a peek inside to see what it looks like. Today, I was happy when I got to go behind it and see a bit more into Hotel Marshall. I was helping a friend pick up a couch at Macy's and the pickup are just happens to be behind the hotel. All the doors were open and I got to see inside a bit. It gave me the chills, but now I REALLY want to see inside.
