Interesting. I went to pull up my county, and it is not highlighted and has no data. If I'm reading this correctly, then that means is didn't get any equipment from the DOD.

But that doesn't mean they don't have any equipment. I've seen this guy in parades. It even showed up for an elementary school Halloween parade as an escort vehicle two years ago. How very appropriate to be used for a holiday when children dress up in costumes.

That's a lot of night vision scopes. I guess so they can see all the zombies coming in from Detroit just to the south of them.

0 in my county. The hillbillys are still better armed than the police.

This is a little interesting.
DC got a bunch of planes, but doesn't have a runway within its borders.

It has some helipads, but no runway.

Doesn't have a runway that the Pentagon will admit to, anyway...

24 Last Photos of People Who Couldn't Ever Be [Photographed] Again

Some Dwellars may find some of these photos to be, not in the best of taste, and/or a tad gruesome (no blood and guts, no dead bodies, I don't think).

Squeamier Dwellars, be warned.


Worth the click.

Maybe this belongs in Current events, but here's a surprisingly good article in GQ about the North Pond Hermit, who was just released from jail.

A long read, which is rare these days.

Here he is at his capture.

And here he is after spending months in jail and losing the will to eat much or keep himself groomed.

AMAZON SHOPPERS! this is great!

Hmph my post has disappeared! probably will resurface after I repeat it........

If you just need to add a few pennies to make up the amount to get free shipping on Amazon, use this search. Not sure if there's a way to change countries, but I'm sure there must be similar links around.

Slick Fillers

where is this information from? And what is the definition of "contact"?

Let's imagine Comcast is your only Cable TV option. they call/mail once a month to try and persuade you to upgrade your plan. (I'm bring generous here) you tell them to fuck off or recycle the mailing. then it's the Olympics and you decide you need a sports TV package. So you wait for them to call so you can get a better deal than you might if you went to them. That might make it look like they were successful after x number of contacts. no?

Damn. That was a good read. Shockingly, I saw a few (too many for comfort, actually) similarities between Mr. Knight and myself. I would love to get in this man's head and have a nice long look around. I like the guy.

Solitude did increase my perception. But here's the tricky thing—when I applied my increased perception to myself, I lost my identity. With no audience, no one to perform for, I was just there. There was no need to define myself; I became irrelevant. The moon was the minute hand, the seasons the hour hand. I didn't even have a name. I never felt lonely. To put it romantically: I was completely free.
Thanks for posting that, Glatt.

Thanks. I can also see some of myself in him. The funny thing is, as much as we like him, he would dislike us. We're bleeding our emotions all over him just by talking about him.
