    Well JB might be dead. He didnt come in, nor is he sleeping on the porch where it is "safe". Tho if he did survive, he might show up when the wife goes to feed the birds in the in a hour or so. (if he isnt dead). Tho in some ways it could be a blessing. The wife wants to get a coon or grey and white cat that she will call Boo. As she wants another Boo kitty. (not very imaginative on the names)

    Kitty disappeared once for almost a week.

    I open the door one morning and he's sitting there.

    I think someone probably tried to adopt / catnap him.

    Well they have summoned a wrecker to try and dislodge the fuster cluck at the front of the TA.

    To me it seems like a good way for someone to get shot. There's nowhere to go.

    I'm not going to watch and have come back to Casper.

    Currently 9 degrees.

    Food still seems plentiful at the TA. I'm eating there's rather than my truck stock. Soon the megas will begin to cannibalize some of their own.

    Down to about a 1/3 on fuel. Haven't used a great deal, but the APU has run alot. I run Casper for about 45 minutes to an hour (now).

    Might be buying another 20 gallons or so 2 gallons at a time using funnel fill method so I don't lose my spot.

    The horror continues.

    The TA is probably working off it's freezer stocks. As long Sysco etc can get to it with a truck delivery each day then many people can be fed.

    Fuel is another problem. You have a certain amount in that truckstop. If you see regular deliveries of fuel to the truckstop then alls well. But if you go on 10 hours and no fuel truck, you better load up leaving your trailer in place.

    Can you drop your trailer to hold your spot and go fill the truck? Just curious because I don't know truck stop etiquette, didn't know if that was a dick move.

    Latest WHY-OH-MING dot site says 4 to 6 hours to open road.

    This means most people came to work this morning and they are going to plow and treat the roads.

    The atm's are probably getting low on money and the state has fleeced everyone as much as possible during this period of false imprisonment.
