i just got back home. we found a remote spot to camp. i kept hearing kid voices and laughing. dogs barking. i finally poked about, and found a family camped out. my buddies dad is pretty approachable, and eventually the other "dad" of the camping family came over for a chat. turns out this family is from the Dallas area. he got laid off, lost everything, and is living in the desert. no water. he drives his relatively decent honda accord around. they live in two tents. i see the campfire till 7pm, and they go to bed. if you have kids, dont you have to have running water and heat? i mean it is cold out there. i was in a pop up camper trailer, and i would wake up to my face hole in my sleeping bag lined with thick ice from my breathing. toothpaste frozen solid. my friend's dad left early and slipped a $100 into a tent flap. they guy came over to say thanks.. he was sawing firewood with a hand saw. i helped out with our chainsaw.

my brother noted the plates and wants to run it..just in case the kids are kidnapped or something...if you lost a job, why camp out where you can never find another one? shelters? i dont get it. school?

weird.
