A Well-Dressed Trunk

Our car trunk no longer belongs to us. It belongs to the whims of "Mother Nature". I realized when I went to put something in it this morning, that just "weren't gonna happen"! There is no space, there is virtually no room.

Let's take an inventory, shall we:

- two rolls of toilet paper enclosed in a ziplock bag;

- windshield wasper fluid for -35 degrees;

- a gallon jug of water (which stays frozen most of the time);

- a 20 lb. bag of kitty litter;

- a medium-sized spade;

- granola type bars;

- four blanket/afghans compressed in a space bag for better storage;

- scarves, gloves, hats;

- an absolutely crammed backpack for Joe and one for me which contains extra clothing, canned food, water bottles, soap, washclothes, candy, etc. (They are so heavy, it's almost impossible to carry both at the same time);

- books, magazines (that would hopefully relieve boredom);

- non-heatable food and plastic utensils;

- adult diapers and baby wipes;

- lighters and various other items for survival and we always make sure we have at least 1/2 tank of gas AT ALL TIMES!
