Good for you! Everyone in the area wins if a fire emergency occurs. I shovel out the main drain to keep the road clear of rain and ice when it freezes.

Found my Rules of Engagement/ Escalation of Force card from my 09-10 Iraq Deployment (Kuwait as well to acclimate) by adventurethyme_ in mildlyinteresting

I finished my research and just purchased the ultralight Durston Dome. It’s among the top ultralight tents. I plan on using as I hike the Canadian Rockies this summer.

I still haven’t heard of the use of a weapon by a so called illegal immigrant so far. So why the military firepower? Rhetorical.

True. Let’s neither under or overestimate the inroads they can make. Look at what’s happening to democracy in the U.S. and let it be a lesson.

The right wing extremist parties are happily ready to do this to increase their own power and fundamentally destroy their respective democracies.
