The Tower Challenge

No plastic huh?
wellwell, here's my challenge as I head off to work at the Flag Point fire tower, just east of Mt. Hood. I shopped today for my delicious tower purchases....."ah, nope...not that. ah.....nope, shit....no no, yes, no....no cheesepuffs? moving on....ah, put back the Thai Noodles! poop." and goddamn I didn't bring enough bags to fill up from the bulk snacks so I had to use NEW PAPER? God, that's stuoopid.
At first, I exempted myself from having to do this whole no plastic game during my tower hours.
I said a big NO at the house meeting becuz imagine yourself out in the middle of it with no stores to bumble around in to find non perishable plastic replacements at whim. My food stash is a big deal at the tower. It's lonely out there and I guess having the food I want is part of the comforts I take with me along with everything else I pack....delicious beverages, so many books, a guitar, yoga matt, hand crank radio, art supplies..to name a few.
But today, I think I felt the Drastic Plastic spirit biting at me and I said, like the rooster,
"fuck it motherfucker" .....NO PLASTIC!
I'll let you know if it sux'd at the tower without my plastic covered goodies or was no big deal.
Until then,
Jenn
