Well today it’s back to duty.
It’s Friday and the weather, if a bit chilly this morning, is wonderful. When I get home this evening I hope to place another ‘beginning’ installment out there for people to see.
Today’s assignment; Search and Rescue.
Not my most favorite of jobs. Seems people are always getting hurt or killed on these types of runs. Luckily we are only going just outside of town to check the houses within five miles of the Depot. We received contact via short-wave and CB radio of all things. We hope to recover those stuck or without a way to get here safely. The dead seemed to be roaming in packs. We observed a few individuals come together in a field and then left as a group in an entirely different direction. Very Sci-Fi that. Jake, who was with me at the time joked it was like they were sharing a hive-mind like ants. Great that is all we need.
The electric is still holding but according to Watson it is getting weaker. The Major is drawing up plans to go to the Dix Dam next week to see if we can keep the hydro-electric part going, since the coal and natural gas generators in the other plant will probably be shutting down soon without supplies.
Anyway, just a few brief taps on the keypad this morning before we ‘saddle up’ and head out.
I did receive some disturbing news that dulls the beauty of the day.
The Compound in Frankfort lost a child basically over infighting of political/religious views.
I wish them luck and my condolences.
Over.
