Tues 16 Jul

Woke up in the wee hours this morning dreaming about being the last person left (e.g. The Stand). For some reason, I was in Madison, so I had to go into stores to gather the things I would need. Apparently I had no problems getting in to these stores, and there were no dead bodies around to complicate things. I went to REI and chose survival things like a backpack, tent, basic clothes for whatever weather, a good bike, etc.) Then I found a house that suited me, made trips to Brennan's and pushed shopping carts back with cases of apples, oranges, and grapefruit, veggies that hadn't spoiled, cheeses in wax, crackers and granola, dried meats, a little wine, juice, and beer, and lots of bottled water. I figured out how to dig trenches in a field behind the house to dispose of waste. The thing I missed most was showers. It was quite the complete project which actually turned into a waking dream for the remainder of the night. Remains to be seen if I'm really tired later on because I wasn't sleeping for a significant portion of the late night. Wasn't tired today so the "dreaming" must have been as restful as actual sleeping. Interesting. Made a light, cool supper tonight for a hot evening. (A/C turned on, pooped out shortly thereafter.)
