It's 40 here today but going down to 17 tonight. A local woman with 6 kids asked for a heater and I said I would give her one, but she refuses to give me an address.

Kinda sounds like a job I was on not long ago. A woman approaches me and asks for a couple bucks so she could get something to eat. Told her I didn't have any cash but if she went to the counter I would get her what she wanted. She points to the ATM and I told her the same. She goes off on me cursing and what I could do to my self. I returned the favor and got her kicked out of the store. A couple weeks later I saw on the news she was busted for solicitation and aggravated assault. |

I try not to dwell on how they got there, I just want to help out the kids. But they can sure get my goat. |

I've been in schools and seen kids ask for more to eat but either didn't have the extra cash of their parents haven't paid their bill and many times told the cashier to give them what they want and I would cover it. |

46 and sunny for now. Going back down to 17 tonight. I need to be mulching the leaves but I can't get motivated today. I guess I'll celebrate Boxing Day with a nap.

I never had something escalate to that degree, but I had some situations become readily apparent that a scam was underway. I feel sorry for people that don't have street smarts, always sheep for the shearing. |

Some fresh Haunted Bookshop in a Mark Twain, while jarring up a pound of that, half a pound of Pegasus, and half a pound of Sam Gawith 1792 Flake.
The new 8 ounce boxes of Sam Gawith come in a plastic TV style tray with a sealed clear plastic over it, just as a frozen TV dinner comes. I suppose we could feasibly keep these 8 ounce boxes just packaged like this for a year or so. They wouldn't keep the tobacco very fresh for very long, though. I'd maybe trust this for a short term one year in the cellar.

Spent some of the afternoon with our son, his Fiancee and her folks and grandmother. Old Gowrie in the Monday cob for the ride there and back. Now, Friar's Bayou cake in the Monday cob, after a dinner of Christmas leftovers.

Won’t be any smokes for the foreseeable. I’m just hoping my tobacco doesn’t all hair over in that extreme humidity.
