Incidentals USA

Dressing gowns, van drivers and stupid photographers. - I was trying to get some long exposures in the pitch black at the Big Sur, when i heard someone running towards me, when they got to 3 feet away i could make out it was a man in a dressing gown. "Holly shit, you scarred the shit out of me" I exclaimed where as the guy jumped and stared at me and continued to run past when a breakdown van pulled up at speed.  They argued and he got in and they drove off.

"Hey what you got in your pocket!" one shouted,

"get out of here" I replied

"Hey I'm about to shoot you!" came his reply

"Get out of here" I said and stepped into the middle of Abbott Kinney Boulevard where i figured if I'm going to be shot I'd rather someone saw it, and thought if i run the bluff wouldn't work.

Sergeant Harris described himself as an officer with shoulders like an American football player over the phone, but in reality he was a shareholder in a donut shop. He arrived at my "Jolly Rancher" hotel after two guys had tried to rob me at gun point.

'Wig in the street' - What had happened the night before i'll never know but i talked to a homeless woman and her boyfriend here. I always remember the woman smoking even though she was pregnant, but i didn't judge her, just talked. She then said as she walked away that i should wear a coat in the SF fog, I laughed and thanked her and thought wow, she told me off not me telling her off.
