Zombie Squad

The reality of the on the ground situation reminds me of an old tale. Wiki: The parable of the blind men and an elephant originated in the ancient Indian subcontinent, from where it has been widely diffused. It is a story of a group of blind men who have never come across an elephant before and who ...

From Fox News: Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick could lie in honor in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington after sacrificing his life in the line of duty trying to fend off rioters who breached the building earlier this week. https://www.foxnews.com/us/capitol-police-officer-sicknick-lie-in-honor-...

I am extremely happy that you have finished what I read years ago as The Lottery in ZS's fiction section!

Thank you!

Those are some great and well reasoned responses. I will add to them that I have a feeling my mags may not last as long, or function as well as my gun and that higher round count mags may be harder to get in future, whether by legislation or zombie invasion. When the lawless economic collapse hits i...

I think these might be helpful comments. I was trying to fall asleep, counting sheep, and realized that the sheep must have taken that long walk to establish Haven from the overflow of the other seeded community. It just seems a long way/long time to travel with sheep that need to be feed and watere...

Thank you for the new chapters! The only Easter Egg that popped up for me was the robe that you can sleep in. I saw those in the Pillars of the Earth, but have not noticed them elsewhere. I was really hoping for a real cave of wonders with all sorts of tech. The way you have laid out the new civiliz...

I like it. If you want a challenge for gun #2 what about something in Der Still style. https://i.etsystatic.com/20988685/r/il/78e331/2081028655/il_570xN.2081028655_moq9.jpg How is that Der Stijl? Looks more like an homage to Tron, which never got its due. https://www.moviemarket.com/tron-legacy-506...

Yeah, so along with my post in the North Korea Saber Missile Nuke Explosion Death thread I think this ten year old thread has a couple of good things to say about how potassium iodide can, and can't, help.

I know, Holy Thread Necro Batman!

From Fox News: https://www.foxnews.com/world/after-days-of-threats-north-korea-destroys-inter-korea-liaison-office-report Blows up a building. Who knows what the next step is going to be. But "Rocket Boy" seems to be sending a message that he wants more concessions from South Korea. Prepping for an ...

Thanks to your last hint The Ranch was easy to find, Spring Mountain in Gandy, CO. I’m looking for Haven. Seemed impossible to find using the clues. Then yesterday I remembered something Lucy said and I realized I needed to think in terms of polar opposites. Now none of the clues are fighting eachot...

That was a beautiful launch of the Dragon spaceship by that powerful Falcon rocket! American rocket launching American astronauts from American soil. I watched it on the internet and even on my laptop screen it was impressive. I have seen one space launch in person, in '98, when they sent Glenn back...

Still reading book two of the fantastic Chernyi series. But still thinking about Sunburn. The current chapter ends with: “So, you wish to continue to the cave of the Rangers?" "Lead on, I follow".” And I keep thinking about what the cave of the Rangers will be like. There will be more metal maps, ma...

I like it!

Where did you find those grips?

Would love to see Chapter Six!

I decided to read some of your other stuff while I’m waiting. Yesterday I got done reading First Strike!. Now I’m reading Going Home. It looks like a terrific series.

Still, reading Sunburn’s Chapter Six would be nice.

Went to a Menard's this morning in central Indiana. Arrived at 8:45 am on a Sunday, hoping for low shopper numbers. This was my first big box store visit in many weeks. The parking lot was already 40% full. Big sign at entrance said everyone had to wear a mask and that they were selling masks at the...

I love Sunburn! :clap: :clap: :clap: Just thought I get that out, up front. The first chapters had a small time jump, but Chapter 5 blows us way out 10 generations, which is like what, 200 years? I liked the characters in Chapter 4 and I hope we get to time travel back and see how they did in the ea...

Some countries have drastically few COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths. Is it geography, temperature, genetic differences, a higher percentage of younger citizens, early lockdowns, or, so far, is it just luck? This free article deftly delineates differing depths of deaths. https://www.nytimes.com/...

Oh, I like this story. Please, may we have MOAR!

Last week my kid found a very large above-ground swimming pool kit that I bought at an end of season sale and stashed in the garage. It ain’t exactly hot here in east central Indiana but he somehow convinced me to help him set it up. It was a nice project for us to work on together. Yesterday it hi...

Welcome friend!

This week's supply run: Left early for the super Kroger on the eastside of Indianapolis, arrived at 7am, old people only store hours are 7-8am. There was no TP, no yeast, and I bought the last package of steaks, and they aren't even a known to me cut. But it was the last package of anything they had...

Gunbuyer,com had Hornady .22 WMR. I got a few boxes of Hornady Varmint Express 22WMR 30GR V-Max for $9.50/50r box and Hornady Critical Defense 22WMR 45 Grain FTX for $10.99/50r box, plus s&h and tax, I can use them in my 6.5” rough rider and a soon to be mine Rossi RS22w semi-auto rifle with a 20” b...
