Destruction and Repairs at the Oasis

OldBones-Larry
1 4 61

I was making my checks on all the rest stops along the trail when I arrived at the oasis just before Desolation Point. I found the waters fouled with tar and butts.
The Caches had been torn apart and supplies strewn about and destroyed.
This can only be the work of Nic and his troop.
I sent a message to the Sheik. I trust he will send his men out to find the culprits.
I also asked him to send for fresh supplies to restock and some men to help clean up and rebuild.
I waded into the water and began cleaning the water of the butts. When the others arrive, I will place sheaves of grass in the water to clear it of the tar. This grass will be burned and buried to rid the place of that mess.
The cairns will be rebuilt and restocked when new supplies arrive.
I am sharing what supplies I have with the travellers that come through. They will be needing them before the reach the next stop.
When the work is done here, I will join the search for the culprits that did this.
Keep traveling my friends and keep your eyes open for trouble.
Always remember .....
One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
