Worked HARD today. we were up at dawn and finished the cleanup of the hardware store. some intermittent flurries moved in about lunchtime and i kept one eye on the weather. Winter in this part of the world is nothing to screw around with. It can kill you quick if you dont watch it.

Me and Jay have all the "home" supplies moved to the hardware from the other stores. we got rid of all the suzy home-maker stuff they had in there and used the space for plumbing, elecrical, yard, tools etc etc. We keep what food we need for immediate use at the house but other than that its stacked in the Alco store. its easier to just grab a shopping cart and walk up and downthe aisles to get what you want than dig through boxes and storage tubs at home every day.

More and more i find spoilage to be an issue with food. At least 1 out of 3 cans now is shot from freezing or rust through. you have to be VERY careful. food poising here could be deadly now. Before it was a quick trip to the hospital and maybe an overnight stay at worst.

Oh and speaking of it, i was scrounging around the clinic for some bandaids and i found a fax with some info on the dead head virus. ill write it in here when i get the chance to translate all the medical gooblede-gook.
