Yeah, 79. I remember that. 80 wasn't too bad, but the 3 years since have been challenging. I had a lot of the same history as you. I got married in 1964. My husband was an avid fan of classical music. I got my education from him. We learned about opera at the same time in 1966 and both became great fans. He would always delve into everything more deeply than I. 1964 was the pivotal year for the Beatles. I don't know most of the Beatles songs and don't appreciate them as great artists. I have always liked Norwegian Wood and Elanor Rigby. Also not jabbed. Here I am a worthless eater still alive at 83.
I'm not sure what you mean. I am happy to be alive. I am being sarcastic about being called a worthless eater by the elites. I have had my sarcasm misinterpreted before. Sorry you got it wrong. Just sayin'. I'm active and except for having a short leg due to some athletic accidents, thus causing back pain, I do pretty well.
Sure, why not? But what I’d really like to see is about ten thousand more people read that book. As a value proposition for prepping, it still holds up pretty well. It really doesn’t matter which load of crap hits the windmill, the results are pretty similar, and the things you need to do beforehand to cope with the crisis are likewise much the same.
Yes, I read quite a lot of dystopian fiction . . . and Lighting Fall was as good an intro to prepping as I have read . . . plus great characters and general storytelling. More, please.
22% of Detroit homes are vacant and another 22% have been bulldozed in the ast decade. Lived close to it for 20 years. Some very nice neighborhoods still. Some decent Downtown. The rest . . .
As for deportation, I doubt ICE could have usefully spent more money before they beefed up their numbers and current agents began believing they would be backed up while doing their job. And got the selfish seat-warming climbers moved out.
I expect there is a good reason why there is no easy entry from other parts of the city into the Baltimore Peninsula project by public transportation. That is a feature, not a bug.
It's a feature if you've built a fortress. But how many people want to live in a fortress. The very nature of the thing implies you are likely to be surrounded at some point by dangerous enemies.
I think this is a bit different from the gated communities concept you find in the suburbs. These downtown enclaves never seem to prosper, at least in my experience.
Most surviving suburban malls only continue existing by forbidding public transportation access. Otherwise parking lots turn into shooting galleries (both sorts of shooting) and interior spaces into gang warfare zones. Neither of which is attractive to actual shoppers.

"Here I am a worthless eater still alive at 83."
Doesn't sound like you're all that happy about it.

Is this an appropriate space to beg for a sequel to Lightning Fall?

Well...maybe...
