I gave up on keeping track of the dates, what does it matter? Not like my mortgage is due anytime soon. Pretty sure the bank isn’t going to show up to repose my truck, although… if what I remember of the banks was true, maybe they will. Fuck, they can have it. So I’ll call today…
2 Days Past Tallulah Tate’s Green Mac N Cheese Night – sometime in January
The reality is, most of us won’t live through this. Somebody will no doubt take my spot one day, maybe my ramblings will help guide them where I ran astray. Maybe not… maybe it’s just some nosy kid snooping through my desk with nothing better to do… kid? You should remember I’m almost always armed, and missing people – they really aren’t all that much a conern anymore. Get my drift?
The first couple of weeks was rough, but we finally settled in ok. The hospital amazingly enough is still operational, feeding off power from the grid by some miracle. The generators seem to be in good shape, not sure for how long though. Most of the cruisers are useless now, the radiators and intakes so clogged with decomposing remains, they couldn’t make it a 100 yards before seizing up. But there was a bright side. In all my searching of this place, I found an old cd for dial up internet. Wouldn’t believe me unless you saw it with your own eyes. Shit still worked. Originally I hoped to get information on the rest of the country – didn’t work out so well. Most sites were already down.. except porn. God bless porn. You want a technological marvel – look at the porn industry – government could learn a thing or two from them. Too bad the modem in this old tandy is a 28.8.
Picked up some new folks to help around. Dont know much about them yet, but must of them are happy to have a roof over their heads. The more help the better, I don’t quite trust the assholes on the mountain. Flying helicopters in and shit, like this is JFK. Their arrogance is going to get everyone killed. New girl luckily will help me out there… eyes and ears on the street. A good thing too, cuz she’s about as useful around here as hockey puck on a baseball diamond. Means well… but her pretty face is going to be much better served gathering intel. Kind of cold hearted of me right? Oh well.
Better get moving, Tallulah found a ton of canned sardines, not gonna eat for a week. If you’ve taken over in my place… know I’m working on doing you a favor and burning all that shit. You may be starving now… but trust me… lesser of two evils.
