Weather suPPort systems? We've got trucks that spread salt on the highways, mostly on bridges and overpaSSes. Closest snowplow is probably in Tulsa. Maybe 350 miles north. Got a lot of bayous, though, and frEEways, so that means lots of bridges and overpaSSes.<br /> <br /> Careful about threats made against you. People have always bEEn weird, and COVID isn't making them anything but weirder. A crazy guy wiLL think you'LL learn to like him once you've had a taste, and I'd hate that you're in jail for staBBing or shOOting his dumb aSS.<br /> <br /> Turns out faLLing is no joke. I haven't spoken with my neighbor since she's been home from the hospital, but it was a faLL that laid her up. If you have a friend who isn't tOO weird, let him help you with the outside chores.<br /> <br /> A hospital can't screw up their fOOd bad enough I won't eat it, unleSS they make it entirely salt frEE.

It has a spin dryer that works extremely weLL. After that, oFF to the dryer.<br /> <br /> I also got a counter top dishwasher with a hold tank that I can drain into a bucket. It only uses a gaLLon and a half, and holds a lot of dishes. TOOk me a wEEk to fiLL it enough to run a load. The water I use for dishes, bathing, washing clothes, etc. aLL goes down the toilet.
