    Good time to stay home next to that wood-burning stove. Did you get more wood?

    I have exactly 5 cigarettes left and no sign of even a salt-n-sand truck. I think I’d rather walk the 3 blocks to the bar for cigs rather than scrape windows and slide around the corner again but I’d probably fall down a dozen times each way. Maybe it’s a good day to quit smoking.

    Naw, no more wood yet. But I have a number to call for $25 truck loads; hopefully it isn’t scrap or something.

    I’m at work, so I’ve got smokes. I bet you waddled to the bar, B!

    $25–?!!?
    Lemee know if it’s any good.

    The $25 wood guy never called me back. We bought a $35 load from a guy next to the laundromat on 4th.
