Bob was sincerely glad that he was going to take the position, he was sure that Justin would be a good fit. It was starting to snow lightly outside. ...Alisha told Bob that they should take her truck and go out and look for that mountain lion in the morning at first light. Bob thought that would be a good idea. “Lets take some traps and bait out to where that last kill was, he will probably come back to eat on it again…..we just might get lucky” They decided they would get up at 5 and head. This boat had a small cabin, which Dad said was the smallest room he was likely to see this side of a coffin, but which he still thought was tremendous. Mom carried the cooler below and put a few things away, and changed into her swimsuit and Dad had me drive the boat around the lake for a bit. That wasn’t too bad, since he already knew I knew how to drive a boat. Afterwards he and Mom lazed around on the front end of the boat, while Jack and Bobbie Joe and I drove it around and did some. We got a report from thedriver of the wagon who took the Winthrop Guards back to back to theirbase.

It was an old community, with mostly old housing arranged haphazardly in the zoned sections of town, and in utter chaos outside. Our yard was not large, but better than some. Even so, it was densely packed for a rural town. By day it may as well have been dead but for the required businesses and government offices forced to stay.
