This is Jimmy Varn and I am still alive.
The fire continues and the smoke is getting pretty damn thick. Zombies don’t mind. They keep stomping towards the bright lights at night. I don’t have a zombie parade, I got more of a zombie high traffic crossing.
There is nothing like the billowing black clouds of death in the morning to make you start thinking about your evacuating plans.
So I got my bike. I realized I needed to slap on some baskets or bags so I can carry more stuff. Well, Chuck and Annie’s stockpile of bondage gear came to the rescue. I have enough rope and straps to make some attachments to the bike. Right now I am strapping plastic containers I found at the Figs’ house. Jennifer was one Hell of an organizer. I should really bury her in thanks.
Shit, wait long enough and they will get cremated.
I am not sure about food. Carrying cans is not an option. I thought about opening cans and transferring food to ziplock bags to be eaten later but I don’t know. It occurred to me that I could forage on the run like Crystal does but that doesn’t appeal to me at all. Looks like I might not have a choice.
What I really need is some ramen noodles. I could eat them on the go and they weigh nothing. All I have to do is hit the grocery store. It can’t be nearly as bad as the Wal-Mart, right?
I can see it now: I get myself killed looting to get ready to escape the fire. Maybe I should just pack my bike with things I already have.
The sleeping bag is the big debate. That fucker is bulky. On the other hand, if I am caught outside, I might freeze to death without it.
How much water do you carry on the run? The answer is never enough. Water is the heaviest thing I can carry outside of guns and I can’t imagine leaving the house without ten gallons. I can’t fucking carry ten gallons so it is looking like one gallon is my limit.
The more I think about it, the less I want to go. Leaving Home Base II with such meager supplies will be a death sentence. I’m still working on the escape bike though. If the fire gets too close, the zombies will make it impossible to ride out of here. I rather go out with pathetic supplies than wait and sit here to die.
Got work to do.

Just how cold DOES Atlanta get? I thought it was always hot there :P
ReplyDeleteIt varies. It does get freezing cold during January through February, with occasional warm spells. We had some snow this year while Jimmy did not lol.
ReplyDeleteI do wonder what would happen to global weather with a sudden decrease in man made pollutions. If no one was running their heat in a major city, would it get colder? I don't know.
