Thrifthaven: The Beater & The Racist
R. Alex Whitlock
Last night, Dundee was waiting for his girlfriend to get back with his car. She had his cell phone, so I loaned him my phone to give her a call. She didn't answer.

RAW: Hey Dundee, your girlfriend called last night. She said the car broke down. I was out and I left the phone here, so I didn't get the message till this morning.
Dundee: Yeah, she told me about that. I told her if she doesn't again I'll beat the shit out of her.
RAW: ...
Dundee: So tell me if she does it again.
RAW: It'll be a cold day in Hell... I gotta go. Talk to you later, man.
Dundee: Seeya, Bud.

Guess my vibes were off the mark.

He told me the other day that he wasn't going to be in the complex long because he was going to be buying a house soon. Something tells me there's another reason he may not be around long.

Surprise surprise, he made friends with Strang pretty quickly. At least that mean's he's not a racist.

That puts him ahead of Corrupt. That's not a pseudonym, the dude goes by the name "Corrupt." Corrupt is an ex-con hobo who's free trips via Union Pacific were put to a halt when he was caught on his way to Oregon. They dropped him off at the next stop (here) and told him they'd have him arrested if they caught him again. He lives at the shelter down the road and hung out here from time to time to soothe his extroverted tendencies. He's pretty popular because he hands out beer like it's candy. He goes into the local grocery store with a duffel bag or a suitcase (!!!) and shoplifts in a pretty flagrant fashion (suitcase!). "Albertson's has a sale," he says with a wink and a smile.

He also said, not realizing that (black resident) Snowflake (who was sitting outside her apartment across the way), "I fucking hate niggers. I know that ain't right, but it sure as hell ain't wrong."

Free beer wasn't enough to keep him in our good graces since. He hasn't been back since. I'm hoping that has something to do with Albertson's.

We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
