I actually got some sleep last night. I returned to my usual sleeping place, a business that had been vacant but is now being readied to reopen. The mexican workers showed upo again before dawn and started playing Mexican music, possibly in an attempt to wake me up and force me out. But, I did my usual thing and waited until the sky started getting light.
I've noticed that this is what most other "sleeping out" homeless people do: as soon as the sky starts to get light, they get up and leave the area.
It's become quite clear to me that the City of Santa Monica is stepping up its war on the homeless. The new bus stop "amenities" are clearly designed to discourage the homeless from lingering at a bus stop. And the police sweeping the streets every night, rousting the homeless from their "beds" and trying to drive us out of the city.
