Bit of cell service, in and out, looking like no power for weeks, still no sign of equipment to begin restoring power, water just a trickle but brown, living in mre and church groups, gas very hard to come by, stay in a line for 6 hours yesterday, only allowing 10 gallons per vehicle. Not looking like food will be avalible soon, all and every grocery store within hours drive destroyed, same with gas stations. Situation dire,

Yesterday I hit the end, been a nut case with only thoughts is keeping my wife and kids as comfortable as possible, yesterday I dropped, fell asleep and thought I'd die, after some rest I'm about to get out of this chair and get back to survival mode to find more gas and food,, once I run out of gas for the little generator power I have I'm screwed. So I'm off to find food and gas, if I lose gas for truck I'm screwed to, I put 10 gallons yesterday in my truck, thank god for church groups handing out cleaning supplies and food, some org gave out free 20 gallons of gas yesterday straight from a tanker truck but we missed it, because of spotty cell service you get news of things delayed.

I had been collecting camping gear for years, good equipment, some mountain house meals, you have no idea how this stuff comes in handy in situations like this, mostly the cooking stuff, lights, any kind of light source. But buy alot of batteries, some things we have are usb, we charge them when we do run gen. Phones, some lights some power banks, my yard around my home is a mess, I've not the ability to even begin cleaning up, when I look around I cry. Knowing I'm not able to do it and at this time I wont ask my wife and daughter to try, they are able physically but mentally we are beaten, neighbor not disabled have began clearing abit but it's slow, we have our street cleared with 3 chain saws I luckily owed, some kids came by and borrowed them to clear us out so we could get out to find gas and food, theres still good people in this world but very few, in the past eight days I've seen the idiots taking over the gene pool, despiration brings out stupidity and greed. Its heartbreaking to witness some of the things I've seen this past week. Looting is a constant threat, pitch black at night, the methheads are in paridise, my wife and I caught 3 people twice in my driveway under my carport in the dead of night, sadly first four nights we have to have one person up to gaurd what we have here. Sad I have to keep a 12 gauge loaded with buckshot near my door and sleeping with a nine at arms reach

My baby girl hooked us up a dvd player to our tv last night, we got to watch a movie , it was amazing to watch a movie on tv while we ran generator a few hours, when you've been in complete darkness and silence for a week watching ridiculously paid people playing make believe on a tv screen becomes entertianing. been hot here, in the lower 90,s , it's not easy but we are surviving,

In our prayers Bud. If I didn't live clear across the country, I would try to get there and lend a hand or at least get you some supplies.
I BELIEVE IN MY GOD, MY COUNTRY AND IN MYSELF.

I would think things like ready to eat canned goods would be useful. Vegetables, meats like tuna or spam, jerky, stuff like ravioli or spaghettios.... I know Bud said water is an issue so I don't know about things that require water to cook like rice or beans.
Whitetrash, is there somewhere we can paypal you money?
Just give me one thing, that I can hold on to. To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go.
