feeling better? [email to Pito]

i hope you're feeling better, which i assume you should be by the time you read this.  by the way, thanks for everything this past wkend, including the food and the toilet piece.  i definitely got a little bit of color from hanging out at the pool; hopefully i can somehow keep it up for the rest of the summer.  the temp in the apt feels okay right now; thankfully the hot & humid weather is only supposed to last for one day, and most importantly it shouldn't be too bad by nighttime.

so here's a quick story from earlier tonight.  i was walking back from the gym when i noticed a guy sitting in a lawn chair looking at his laptop in an empty parking space here on spruce.  the sight of it really pissed me off but i didn't say anything.  but when i came inside i remembered that i needed milk from wawa, so i went back out.  when i passed him i told him "you know what you're doing is illegal.  there is no property interest in a public property space."  he replied with some attitude, "oh really."  i said, "it's also unfair for everyone else."  so he replies rudely, "i don't care. call the police if you want."  then i said, "so you're an asshole then?"  he just replied, "yep."  i said, "in that case you can go to hell."  and i walked away.  when i got back home he was still sitting there, so i called the police.  but of course no one showed up b/c that's typical philly.  the whole thing really pissed me off though.  for anyone, but especially an asshole like that, to think that he has the right to exclude the rest of the public from something that didn't even belong to him.

anyway, i hope you have a good rest of the week.  i'll talk to you later.
