I saw that on another list. Makes me wonder. If he'd shored up the

one noticed, ever.

My prediction is that the local government charges him a lot of money
to clear out all the stuff, and then back fill the holes he spent so
much time digging. We can't have anyone be different than the rest.


I like the one this guy (who was an engineer) made on the sly:

Wow. Reminds me a bit of Christopher Walken's Blast From the Past.

I heard a year or so ago that one industry that's positively thriving in
these otherwise unsettled times, are the professional home shelter
builders. Nervous people everywhere are buying in with stuff ranging
from fortified tornado proof closets with three days worth of supplies,
to complete underground bunkers designed for long term sustainability.



Here in rural Maine I have seen quite a few "Get Away Homes" go up after
"9-11" , for use if the owners ever have to escape the cities to the south
of us for whatever reasons..Boston , NY , Hartford , ect......Usually a
small 2 story home with attached garage on a long private road in the woods
with a whole house back up generator connected to 2 large propane tanks...In
the cellar they have 4-5 oil tanks for the boiler...A concrete block out
building for what I assumed is for gasoline and other flammables
storage.....They also have a woodstove..Large concrete vault in the cellar
for weapons , ammo and other important stuff needed if the SHTF...They also
double as vacation homes...Smart investment...
