I haven't built it yet.. but I have all of the parts. I didn't want someone else building one like it and the police seeing the similarities and have a future bomb that could possibly happen point to me.

I have made 3 of those-- they now have a professional bomb squad so they don't need mine any more.

Soo the world is turning into a US versus "them" society-- (doesn't matter who is us or who is them) Reading some letters from before the civil war it is sounding allot like the same thing now-- SO for sake of augment-- the country is split into 3rds due to civil war-- east coast-- west coast - in between (or the fly over states as some would call it) - How bad would it impact where you live? Would you be without power or do you live in a place where the city generates its own (or has the capability to?) Is there food in abundance where you live? (Inner cities would have food for awhile-- but really not long) DO yo have a skill or skills that would be needed if there was no longer any power? Or financial (or trade goods needs) if the banks just close one day? Granted these are far fetched ideas for the US right-- Look what happened in South America in just 10 years- or Hong Kong in 3. It is weird the stuff I ponder. Some times I get utterly scared that I am not prepared-- Others I feel there is no need too be prepared at all--- UGH!

what the planet needs is a natural cleansing ie; massive earthquakes, perhaps one of the passing asteroids or comets
[i don't know the difference and too lazy to look it up] Yellowstone eruption could eradicate a fair portion of the US population.
the way the news reads the planet is burning up
due to the worlds consumption of fossil fuels and clearing rain forests etc. i have a lady friend that worries all the time about stuff like this
and has her entire life, where has it gotten her... well, it gave her something to worry about i guess.
as far as being prepared, where do you begin and what is enough , for me personally, i live in the present, the past is gone and the future is unknown.

enjoy a beautiful day
good health too all

SO I guess hundreds of seats to the Rally last night were reserved by democrats who didn't show-- Then then the CNN and other news sources said the place was empty. While not illegal-- it seems a bit underhanded to me.

Politics is where it's legal to lie, cheat, and steal. Don't make no never mind about party. Seems the dems are better these days about passing stuff. So I'll vote agin um till the pubs get good at passin stuff. Then I'll have ta vote agin them. Seems the best way ta keep um from spendin money we haven't got is ta keep the ones in power that have the most trouble passin stuff. Won't make no difference in the end. Slow stuff down a bits all.

On the rally, I don't think it was Dems that did it. From what I have read it was a bunch of teens who punked the rally through a bunch of social media that I have no experience with. My daughter was going to ask her 12 year old if he was one of the kids that reserved a seat. I think there were a number of other factors including the virus, change of date at the last minute, etc. All in all it was kind of funny because image is so important to our President.

the scamdemic is still rolling along pretty good, however the fear is waning a bit and not getting the massive death count they were
hoping for, as has been said many many times ' we just don't know' [bout the scamdemic] uh huh...
i'm quite certain there's another 'scary something' being conjured up as we speak... these are good times

Minnesota wants the FED Gov to pay for the riot damage-- and NYC has cut finding to the police department by 1 billion!-- there was a 130% increase in the number of shooting incidents across the city (205 v. 89) as the number of shootings rose in every borough of New York. The number of people murdered citywide increased to 39 v. 30, (+ 30%) for the month, while the number of burglaries increased to 1,783 v. 817 (+118%) and the number of auto thefts increased to 696 v. 462 (+51%) citywide. but they cut the police budget.
