    Wanted: Late 70s/Early 80s Japanese Car

    Drive it. I'm putting too many miles on my Jeep. I've always liked the really old Japanese cars and figured I could get one fairly cheap since not too many other people like them.

    Preserving Amatol

    What may work faster would be to contact the municipality that the park is in. Express your concerns, and maybe offer yourself as a volunteer to help clean up the place. They may be receptive to that - free labor is hard to deny.

    More McDonalds. Corruption did them in more than a lack of the rule of law.

    Beer (again)

    I had the best beer I've ever drank in my life last night. I was at a steakhouse in Manhattan, and they had Orval Trappist Ale. Absolutely blew my mind. The aroma was so strong, it had a very citrusy smell to it, with a hint of smoke. The smell was actually stronger than the taste of the...

    The Economy

    The planet has never seen a societal collapse before. Even when the Roman Empire "fell", to the average person the day after was just the same. It was more of a slow decline into the dark ages. Even Europe after WW2 wasn't so terrible, and recovered from economic devastation in ~10 years or...

    The Economy

    That is true. I mean, even if society collapsed, people would figure out how to grow food to survive. It'd be hard - we'd literally be turning the clocks back 200 years - but at the end of the day people who are resourceful enough will survive.

    The Lost Causeways of the Skit Branch

    Yes. Furnaces were anxious to get rid of the stuff. I think there's an entry in either the Batsto Diaries or the Martha Diaries of someone buying 4 tons of slag. I noticed it in Iron in the Pines. It makes the perfect fill material.

    Southern Railroad of New Jersey

    I've always meant to get down to Winslow but never was sure about trespassing or whether or not it was open for people to see.
