Yes, they were playing with the routing on a laptop, but I can visualize a future controlled by our AI overlords, where every box is programmed in and it's entire trip planned and executed.

The overlords love execution, remember that.

Beautiful, in its own weird way.

I'd like to think we would be fine, but the holding power of stakes is a wildcard.

A lot of the tents flying around are the pop-up kind that nobody bothers to stake down. Although you'd think there would be enough crap in them to weigh them down.

I didn't mean your tents, but any of your troop boys attending the gathering. Commendably, You take you responsibility for them seriously.

Because most people drive the stakes straight in. They hold much better when driven at an angle to the guy line.
