the cold broke for a littel bit today. sun was out and a few water drips could be seen along the eaves. i wonder when the dead heads will thaw this year? I can only imigine what life down south must be like where it never freezes.

I thought i heard an engine across the river today. it was just a faint growl on the breeze but i called a red alert anyway. Jay was up an at em' in about 15 seconds and we both hung out on top of the barricade for a couple hours listening for more but we heard nothing. I worried about refugees the first summer but there was nothing. the outbreak happened so fast and spread so quickly that nobody had time to bug out. you died where you stood or hunkered down and survived. it helped that the army dropped the bridge.
