Major trouble north of here. Cavalier, ND and areas down stream is under mandatory evacuation order starting at 7:00 this evening. A retention dam 6 1/2 miles to the west is expected to fail within the next twelve hours. The emergency levy at the top of the dam will soon be breeched. This will most likely destroy the entire town.

Bad news, dude. At such short notice, can anything be salvaged or the water re-routed?

In other news, I actually found a practical application for my knowledge of military history yesterday.

A Canadian friend of mine had bought an old Canadian Army greatcoat in a thrift store and I was able to help him identify the unit patch on the arm. Turns out the patch was only used during WWI; doesn't mean the coat is that old, but it certainly looks it.

You mean all the military history we're carrying around isn't just trivia?

My wife will be shocked at this revelation!

Right then. Morning tithe.

You still there, NoDak? Or did you get swept off by the watery hand of the fates?

If you see him swimming downstream out your window sometime today, you'll have your answer.

Morning. Thinking of all that are suffering due to the natural forces that make this world an otherwise habitable planet.

Bad news from Londinium. Sounds like some home-grown nutjobs on first blush. At least the two attackers got shot.

Hadn't heard from Per in a couple days. Wonder if he got swept up in the Stockholm rioting? Ringleader?

They may or may not be home grown, they certainly are nut jobs. But, there are plenty of actual home grown nut jobs out there who are probably gearing up for a fight against those who are a "threat". I've already seen more than a few people who seem to think that Enoch had some good ideas.

The extremists in this case were Muslims and in the tiny minds of some that means that Muslims = extremists.

As one of my more reasonable friends put it: I don't think the skin head fanatics are going to ask questions before they go for anyone that fits a stereotype.

Bad times all round.

Did you see the vid? Not a thick English accent there? Pretty hard to duplicate for a foreign-born national.

There was a very, very evil method of execution in eastern Laos. I would be more than happy to apply such a method in these cases. It may...deter...even die hard fanatics.

I agree. Shooting them would be an honorable death. In a case like this, I'm a traditionalist. Hanging is the way to go. Besides, It's green! No electricity , re-newable, re-usable and bio-degradable!

Pity the UK and the EU gave up the death penalty years ago.

No doubt they'll get the max, maybe 7 years.
