Go for it.
I'm deployed to the Kilgore armory with the TX State Guard for the next few
days for commo with the shelters along the top half of the TX-LA border.
It's a gravy job compared to what you are about to do.
Beware the armed looters and thieves. We've had gangsters and other creeps
show up at shelters in TX, and had to put them in their place. You might
want to keep your piece handy.
Good luck finding your buddy. Give us a sitrep when you can. I'll be back
Tuesday.
