When it gets cold and the days get darker.

It's getting colder outside. Winter is the hardest. The light outside is dimmer. The night comes earlier. And food is scarce. Having a small group is easier but it brings up the problem of strength. Our strength lies in our numbers. Last winter we lost 6 people. Pneumonia. Frostbite. And just plain insanity. Having no medicine to speak of, we cannot afford another sickness outbreak. Food is another necessity that is harder to come by these days. We've already ransacked the houses near us. But maybe it's time to go a little farther out. It seems risky with the limited supply of weapons, almost no ammo. But what has to be done, has to be done. We can't keep surviving on scraps. And when the snow comes we will be in trouble.

Guess it looks like we'll be going on a trip today.
