Sand dunes on Titan, 300 feet high and up to a mile wide. They’re made of frozen hydrocarbons – chemicals found in crude oil – rather than sand.
This day in history – May 31, 1884, Dr John Harvey Kellogg patented “flaked cereal”
Finding the Perfect Lair
Full disclosure, I do live in a lair. The White Wolf Mine may be the perfect lair for me. But could I have done better?
For Your Consideration
Train your Family
They make good force multipliers in these turbulent times.
SLW is pretty good with her TRR-8 pistol and my Kimber TLE-II, but she has trouble loading magazines.
And she can’t use a long gun because she has some kind of neck/spinal condition that precludes her from any heavier recoil than maybe a 22LR.
The rest of the clan out here are quite proficient in rifle and pistol shooting from hunting and growing up around guns.
I’m the only one that’s had any advanced “tactical” training (a couple are Vets, one was Air Police), but could/would pass along what I know even though my training was mostly close quarters/self-defense stuff.
But hey…..I’m the COMMS guy!
Everyone needs coms. And everyone needs to shoot accurately to defend themselves.
Get her, and you, a mag-loader. They are really nice to have and really help with newer mags with stiff springs.
https://www.maglula.com/product/uplula-9mm-to-45acp is a good one.
Well, there’s only two of us, but she always keeps her SP101 by her side.
My boys can handle themselves.
Kellogg was a bit flaky himself.
Peace through superior firepower.
Interesting topics.
You’re pretty tsunami proof at the WWM.
Yes, but we have forest fires from time to time.
I can’t thin of a female in my extended family that can’t shoot, and shoot well. This includes the (P)regressives.
Supposedly Kellogg created the cereal to suppress licentious desires.

I don’t think that the libidos of high school boys were diminished one bit by corn flakes.
Your lair question… If you’re happy where you are then you’ve found your spot!
Exactly.
The Titan illustration reminded me of the work of Chesley Bonestell. He did astronomical art that looked like it was done by someone who’d been there.
Titan is one of the MOST interesting places in the Solar System. There are dynamic chemical processes that are underway and a vast amount to learn.
I didn’t know the WWM had all these perfect beaches. Jealous!
Is a beach lair better than a mountain lair?
That alternate lair seems to offer poor cover, and it looks like the roof might be excessively flammable. Good fire lanes outside the perimeter, though.
What is under the champagne layer in those drinks?
