Also at Rick's, a 10-year-old who was selling candy recognized me from Seastar Lane, so I bought a candy bar from him for 100j. And some fool across the way claimed I had to tip him to park at Rick's -- a first in approximately 50 visits through the years.

I hung out at Xtabi for a while.

Later, my appetite returned (big surprise), and I made my way down to Bella Donna for dinner -- I had paid in advance and ordered spaghetti with meat sauce and a vegetable side. I ended up with Spaghetti marinara and bread instead of veggies, but it was still good.

I went to bed early. At least, that's the story I am going with.
