So the rain let up for a bit and I took a chance today.

Made tracks down the road to one of the orchards nearby, probably looked like an idiot, stopping every five or ten feet to take a reading on my Geiger counter. Got to the orange orchard  not far from "the roundabout from hell" as I like to call it cause most people in this town had no sense of what to do at a yield sign...Ever.

Saw a couple cars just abandoned in the middle of the road, and I didn't see anyone else.

It's still getting colder, but I don't mind as much...I think. Kind of sleeping a lot lately to I guess keep my mind of things.

Oranges are good. Probably the best crop I've seen in a while, sweet and juicy with no frost bite damages. that or I just got lucky with picking out which ones to take.

If this rain ever lets up I'm going to head into town.

My plan is to go to the army surplus store, the grocery store, and  then one of the thrift stores with any luck I'd find some more food, cold weather clothing and some random odds and ends that I can use. I've got a silly idea that might work. I blame watching a ton of MacGyver as a kid.
