It would be great if you two can hit it off.

I hope this helps you out of your rut, and helps him out of his.

This might be a good thing for both of you.

You two are a couple of characters.....maybe this might work after all!

If this works out, and you both raise each other up, I'd pay to read your story.

That is wonderful and that sounds like a great goal we can have during the day thanks.

Also to be clear, I have heavy duty carharts but I would not like to think about the human condition outside with ass-p, I will but its not the goal.

You two remind me of Beat Generation-type characters.

Have you read much of Kerouac?

I really hope this works out for you two. I'd be absolutely glowing if it did.

But there will be storms and arguments along the way. I can foresee that, too.

I feel like you identify with each other in some way.

...I do know how to move - the moves I made in the more recent past around the general Bay Area , and from the Bay Area to the Pacific Northwest and back , are more relevant than what happened nearly 2 decades ago when I moved from the NYC/the area .
My SSDI comes on an ATM card , and I can access it anywhere in the US , I guess - So that's an advantage .
Yeah , assuming I went Music City-ward , I'd forward the little bit of General Delivery mail to Nashville - I suppoose , at least initially , to General Delivery there .
If I got a P.O. box , USPS or private , and/or some space in the presumed destination (Nashville) - that would have to wait until I got there .

...That's interesting you should say that , re Nashville: The Homeless Guy blogger (when he was located there) said something about " cold Nashville winters " - I guess I just approached it from thinking " It's the South , there won't be much winter " - though from my occasional considering Austin , TX , I have seen that it can be considerable cold at night and hot during the day ! !! !! !!

Remember: it's not the "deep South." It can get as cold as the North sometimes there. They can get bad ice storms there, too.

Bring winter gear. Definitely. San Francisco is a picnic compared to Nashville, even though Nashville can get pretty warm in the winter.

I'm sure DCJ knows what he's doing. I'm just asking for curiosity's sake.

Nashville is much colder than Austin! In Austin, you could go around in a light jacket most of the time. Not in Nashville. You need winter gear in Nashville.

Their all-time record low is actually lower than New York's. I believe it's Minus 19 Fahrenheit.

Austin rarely goes below 20 Fahrenheit.

I look at the weather all the time; it's one of my "special interests."

It's not unusual for Nashville to have similar weather to New York. They get less snow, but they probably get more ice storms.

DCJ will confirm what I say, I believe.

Okay forgive my lack of knowledge, I know enough to get by but how does one get a PO box? Can I get one for you? How much does it cost? Can I get one under your name?

How confident are you honestly to get on a bus that I pay for, if I sent the money westen union could you keep up with it? If not its not a bad thing, it just means we need to tweak some more.

There is bus Jan 5th that is $119 but don't get excited, calmly think while breathing if you can realistic get everything ready and if you have meds. Your eating out of you SSDI for January if that doesn't cause an explosion if it does we can talk later and tweak as needed. I'll take care of clothes, I have tons of clothes given to me by an old timer / trunk driver that you might have got along with. How many meds do you have to last til? I don't need names, privacy is fine and think you need more of it but the more honest you are, the more I can help.

...I think a person has to get a PO box under their own name .
I think I could take care of getting on the bus - It would take a little preparation tho .
What do you mean by " Your eating out of your SSDI for January if that doesn't cause an explosion if it does we can talk later and tweak as needed " ?
I can have enough meds .

Okay so I am getting paid on the 1st and the 3rd. The first is going to go to rent so sorry no bus there. I am assuming since social security is federal that you will also get paid on the third for SSDI, I draw SSI and SSDI. I have no interest in you money, you can light it on fire for all care, but I was stating that for the majority you need to have a supply of food. You need priority with your money, as of right now that priority is food. We can examine all of the priorities and make adjustments, I am very supportive of negotiation. However, it stands to reason that if you have an income and support that was willing to help you, that you might use the money to help the support system do its job.

...I have sent a PM in which I speak of the - whatevers - of getting there , I ~ Are you speaking of going via Greyhound (the only company I am familiar with , especially for something as - " long-distance " - as SF to Nash.) or another company ?
If you know of another company , it may well be better - I don't know where you'd leave from SF on that bus company , though .

You better order bus tickets about two weeks in advance; otherwise, the price goes up rapidly.

It's in the $200's from January 5th.

It's $159 from the 9th.

From the 11th, though, there are some that are $119.

The bus takes about 55 hours;
