Katie texted: (1)“just 2 get u know Mike or whoever he had using the car did a lot of cosmetic damage i.e. the key issue; so tore that all up also the emergency brake area ripped up.

(2)Also he broke the automatic side mirror button. Thought it would be a good idea 2 tell u these things in case the person who took the car did any damage.”

I needed that information like a hole in the head. What a bitch! I thought about sending back at least he did not let someone steal the car. And maybe we should let him rest in peace!

I need to get some money to pay Robert for his trouble and make the trip to Portland. I would like to drop by and see Mikey. I would like to take him out to eat but who can know whether that would work or not.

I guess I just feel like shut down the phone and stop calling Mikey and go on to other things. I think there is going to be a real battle over the paycheck. I sure don’t want anything to do with them at Thanksgiving.

I sent Mikey a DVD and picked up the mail. I got a call from Robert that he was going to leave around noon. He finally made it around three o’clock. We grabbed food at subway and headed to Portland. We had a fairly good conversation on the way. I had a call from Nolan and he seemed upset that I had not made contact with Wes and he could tell I was pretty much not on the same wavelength with him. He finally gave up I expect in disgust. We finally made it to Robert’s apartment. I left and went looking for Mikey.

I found my way to Powell without any trouble and called Mikey. He said he was sick and that his mother was not there. I tried contacting her without much success. I told him I would drop by. He soon called me back and said Annie would be there in a minute – where was she. I went to the house and he was in pajamas and said he didn’t want to give me any of his germs. I told him he did not have any germ I did not want and gave him a hug. Soon he was up and moving around. He showed me the deal he has set up for Michael – I was impressed. He had Michael’s cap and he was really proud of it. It came out that they were not really invited to Myrtle Creek and she was going to check. What a bunch of liars. I left and Mikey hung his head and looked away. I hated leaving him but I will get back. It is interesting that there are some pants, a cap and a cell phone in the car. It looked suspiciously like something I saw on Jonah.
