I have no sympathy for rodents as they are a pest on a ranch that forces me to take control of their population into account as much as feed for the horses because if I don't they will consume the aforementioned horse feed.

"Kill em all" lol

My younger sibling clearly doesn't understand that. She tried to keep it as a pet as I tried to get rid of it. God knows where the mouse had been. It was already once in the toilet, so who knows what it had.

@RumikoOhara

I saw a few videos on that. House pets eventually find a way to leave the house only to be prey to wild canines (which are mostly big dogs praying on smaller animals) until they're all killed off or play it smart. Nuclear reactors and the like will keep producing power, until, for instance in the case of a nuclear reactor, the coolant water evaporates. Then there is a big boom because the reactor explodes since no coolant water. Everything else deteriorates, some disappearing pretty fast (like wood) but stuff like plastic takes a super long time.

@Poi

It's helping me to think of a few things such as what stage of deterioration most untended buildings might be, but the thing that really interested me was the Long Horns and it reminded me of how rugged that breed is. I imagine topping a hill and seeing on the plain before you a cattle herd 8 perhaps 12, 000 strong; a cow matures in 2 years and could reproduce itself every 3 years. Low predator population and cooperative defense a 1,000 head could bloom into quite a force.

This morning's song brought to you by Youtube and the lovely legs and bottom of Ms Dawn Wells

@RumikoOhara To me that sounds like a lot of steak to eat.

Also, the Betsy Ross flag looks amazing.

Darkness beyond twilight
Crimson beyond blood that flows
Buried in the stream of time is where your power grows
I pledge myself to conquer all the foes who stand
before the mighty gift bestowed in my unworthy hand
Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed
by the power you and I possess...
DRAGON SLAVE!

I've been watching clips of World War Z. I haven't seen it since it was in theaters but just from the clips I'm remembering how bad it was. This is why you don't just toss the source material out the window and write your own movie.

@Dnafein

The Wind Turbines are between 1.2 and 1.4 miles from the main part of town

[RumikoOhara]

This is a view of 84 hwy west of the town towards Jones Canyon

If you look above the A in the Hillside you can see Aprils observation position which is 815 feet above sea level

@RumikoOhara

Yeah I saw that as well. The longest confirmed kill with a modern sniper rifle is around 2.2 miles (3,540 meters). When you check records (Wikipedia for example) most shots over a mile are made with modern (post WWII) sniper rifles. And from what information I've been able to find snipers are trained to be accurate up to 1000 yards (914 meters). I figured that would be about the same for the marksmen. Which puts the town a little outside that range. Not saying Billy or Vickie couldn't make the shot, just that it may not be the most comfortable in foreign territory.

The hill offers better range on the town I think. Plus offers multiple escape routes. Though it doesn't offer much to cover Jain's approach.

On the weapons side of things those rifles you're talking about would be high quality and unlikely to leave last hope for defense reasons

I think

[Carlyle]

Was going to work on a post after cleaning up some stuff but grandfather showed up to help move the broken fridge outside to be junked. Then I had to deal with the huge rant that I don't do anything (this is being said while I do dishes, laundry and making kool-aid for them) in this house but now I'm finally free to work on a post.

Woo.

Actually, 2 of the 4 high quality rifles Lasthope has is with the expedition. Billy has one Vickie the other. They're the lee-enfield rifles. Lasthope doesn't have any of the more current sniper rifles.

At least that's the information Rumi provided in discussions about the marksmen. I may have misunderstood some, but the gist was the above.

And now I will have to smite another mouse that I saw speed across the hallway. Sigh.

@Dnafein
Also just to put this out there

I know it's been 14 years but I live in Oregon, at our family's house there are 12 shotguns, 14 rifles 2 semi-auto 3 lever action and two pump action the rest are bolt action rifles. 8 pistols half autoloaders half revolvers three compound bows 2 PVC longbows... and from the people living around us we are kind of average in the number of firearms we have.

So I guess it's understandable that we have a few firearms lol

[DriveEMOut]

Room for one more?

Got carried away playing skribbl.io
Whoops.
