Things that Go Kaboom

 

 Armageddon on Demand - Upgraded

 An ambitious plan to upgrade the Minuteman III missiles in silos scatter around Wyoming, Nebraska, and Colorado and the impact on the people in the region.

Pity Kimball, NE population 2,200.

The article mentions as many as 3,200 workers to be housed in Kimball. A pleasant, old oil/agriculture town with many vacant storefront buildings, it has long had a dark side of drug problems. The residents have kept the place from total disrepair. The streets are in decent shape, the park is neat and well kept, there is a small hospital, and the streets are plowed in the winter.

 Travel tip. The Nebraska State Patrol lurks under I-80 at Highway 71.

Many years ago I saw one near Steamboat Springs. A pack, or several packs; doubtful.

Plant based eggs? Why?

Environazi Victim

The arrogant bastards made mandates forcing hasty engineer solutions by the manufacturers. The people needing trucks to make a living turned to desperate measures. This family owned business responded to customer needs and the patriarch got hammered by our government.

 Notably, nobody in our government suffered any consequences for forcing disastrous mandates on people that left them no legal choice to survive.

 As always, YMMV
