People, its simple but not what you would exspect; the snow is mostly melted here so I am going to make a supply run, I just realized I have not seen another person for 6 days, my record is 42 days, its a very stress free way to live.~

I agree with Judi, HOTDOGS, because they are eaten a lot by children who are most likely to choke in the first place.
