Jockeying a soda can to the Moon with courage and determination. - 08/28/12 01:14 PM

Susanna Haynie has compiled a great reminder list of things to remember to pack on your way out the door. Number 6 has happened at a few of my settlements. Number 2 has happened to me a few times.
Number 1 is how one of my cats came into my life, Zachariah was his name, liked to roam the neighborhood day and night. We would feed him occasionally and invite him in for a visit.
