I will doubt I can ever duplicate this awesome record. It was a difficult challenge to do this. Exhausted from commuting from different markets across the Bay Area. They did appreciate that I was able to come to their market daily. Maybe it was too much but it was worth it.

Why did I attend these markets and do something ridiculous? I just felt like I was home attending these markets and I knew these people that serve the city. These people that is involve with Off the Grid are my friends. I have gotten to know a lot of people and I felt like I should support them doing their job.

I hope my seven day attendance will get the attention of Off the Grid. I truly want to work with them instead of eating. I can do a lot for them and they would appreciate my help. I been applying every month and no luck on a interview. I attend their market and give them support. Let hope for the best will happen sooner.
