Anyhow, it's hard to be too down on yourself when all you have to do is drive North of town to find third world levels of poverty and realize that at least you aren't dealing with that directly. We've worked some projects at Rosebud. The guys we sent out there had to drive two hours one way to get on site because there were no hotels, aside from a handful that were obviously just used for prostitution or drug dens.

Anyhow, it's hard to be too down on yourself when all you have to do is drive North of town to find third world levels of poverty and realize that at least you aren't dealing with that directly. Valentine is a bizarre little town because there's a real sense of "this is the end of the line" to it when you're headed to the Merritt Reservoir, which is a good half hour away. Once you're over the first hill past town you lose mobile data, but by the time you get there you probably haven't had any signal worth a drat for at least an hour. There's some little stores there, nothing big but more than enough to stock up on ice and food, since the little store at the park is really barebones. We tended to just use the oversized convenience store attached to the McDonald's since they had everything we needed and stayed open later. It's a very nice drive though. Terrain stops being flat cornfields and becomes a weird humped morass covered in what looks like landlocked seagrass and you get the district feeling that it was some ancient supersized tidal shallows some millions of years ago. Big rocky hills here and there, pronghorns bounding along over wire fences, etc. The reservoir is similarly strange because of the juxtaposition of obviously deciduous trees along a white sand beach. I recommend taking the northerly route out of Omaha rather than taking I-80 West and cutting North at whatever interval, since you're getting away from almost everything if you're headed that way and it helps to ease that cutoff since you're passing through progressively smaller and more isolated towns until you pass Valentine after which there are no more.

I know rats can be trained to detect landmines by smell (and also, supposedly, to detect certain diseases in blood samples). I bet they could clamber over a pile of suitcases pretty good.

The Romans had the gates of Janus, which they closed when Rome was at peace and opened when they were at war. They only closed them like four times, and even then only for a few years, while they were open for centuries at a time. We never even built our own gate because it was going to stay open the whole time.

Can we just institute something like Logans Run for the age of 50 next year? Get all of the current olds out so maybe the next batch of olds aren't so nearly loving salty and dumb. "OH WAAHHHHH I WORKED FOR TWENTY YEARS AT WHAT IS NOW CONSIDERED AN EASILY REPLACEABLE JOB WHY CANT MILLENIALS GET JOBS CARS AND LOANS?! THEY EARN EIGHT BUCKS AN HOUR! IN MY DAY I COULD AFFORD A FAMILY ON THAT, THEY MUST BE SPENDING IT ON PORN OR XBOXES OR WHAT EVER" It's like they have no realization about what the hell mechanization, inflation, and a minimum wage that hasn't been raised substantially in thirty years is. Edit: In current events news, apparently my college handed out my phone number to the local army recruiters for some reason. I got a text asking me how my day was. Jokes on him I'm a Goony out of shape MMA nerd. Army don't want me. Defenestrategy fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Aug 7, 2017 |

On one hand the boomers are responsible for the hosed up state of the world. On the other there's a significant proportion of millennials who decided to respond to the cards they were dealt by becoming infantile morons who couldn't thrive in a much more ideal situation. "I don't make enough money, I'd better buy some anime statues to make myself feel better"
