I am on Day # 12 renting a room, in a sixty-two year old apartment, ( from a random stranger on Craigslist ).
Here are some photos: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/09o39f95e594t1y/AABTVnnrU1SpK6Ai3Zznflcta?dl=0 All the stuff in the photos is my stuff - except for the model of an old sailing ship. The guy / room-slumlord, is a hermit. I have not had a real conversation with him yet. He is obssesed with anime. I assume that he is about 35 years old. I found a popular vegan restaurant just two blocks away from the apartment. I learned a remarkable thing there today: one can sell a tiny bean burrito for $ 15, if you add a teaspoon of hummus in it. In the photo of my bunk-bed, is a box that has some of my vertical caving gear in it. I thought it was all in there, but now I have to add that hunt to my list. Ironically, or sadly that other stuff, would be in the caving-vendor sack from the 2007 NSS Convention. As crazy as all this may seem, I legally own half of a $ 160,000 house, in a fancy subdivision called "Sienna Plantation." A place that I avoid sleeping at - unless there is a hurricane slamming Houston. I have spent days trying to clean this slumlords aparrtment, as it was really nasty. I have no idea yet, if I will be here after three more weeks. My only real option is to get my own apartment, but that is not yet practical. I could very easily move just 20 feet away, as the adjacent unit is vacant and cleaner. But then, I would be stuck with this crazy guy as my neighbor. David Locklear
