Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I am now depressed. As part of the "slow day at work" thing, I Googled news of my hometown in rural Southwestern Pennsylvania and discovered that due to the disregard of the local coal mines, one of the loveliest homes in the county needs to be demolished due to subsidance. Streams and springs are being shut off and old houses all over the region are collapsing. But the coal mine is the biggest employer, so people don't like to make a fuss.
I remember when we sold the coal rights under our farm. Now I'm wondering if the house I grew up in is also in danger and if the spring that supported the farm for nearly 200 years has been shut off. It's the typical story of huge company ignoring regulations that inconvenience them. There's even a quote from the manager of the local mines about how historic preservation is overblown and isn't the local economy more important anyway?
I knew I'd never go back to live, but I always thought it was going to be there if I wanted to go back and look.

Heh. VW took pictures of this year's spread, so perhaps there will be a competing food snapshop soon! It was really delicious, too, and theo-friendly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You know what's annoying? Dreaming text messages. They're just short enough that there doesn't need to be any dreamlike unreality attached to them and just long enough to contain sufficient information to get you in trouble in the waking world.

I started watching GA late last season, and I'm already tired of it.
