Stepped out tonight out back and got hit right in the eyeball with a major
light. Seems like because they've been robbed 3 times (with all their lights
on) that the owner has put up some more lights (as if that'll stop anyone),
and one of them on the back side of the place (Card playing place 1/4 mile
away) is shining right towards us, lighting up the whole blasted field
between that place and the trailer park. I walked down and looked at it, it
can be tuned to face more downward and/or a reflective shield put over the
top to aim the light downward, oh ya, it's a MEGAWATT quorts/Hogen light
buld and I do mean BIG. So I talked to the night manager and he gave me the
name of who to talk to on monday during the daytime.

Well, the people I have to talk to don't come in until Monday, and after I
go get my meds filled early, I'll have the drawings I've done and I'll be
dressed well and I'll go in as someone who knows what to say. One thing, I
was able to walk all around the outside area without being seen, I just used
the skills I used in Vietnam.
They have at lest 4 or 5 "officers" in front but not a soul in the back or
to the sides, leaving them wide open to attack. There's zero metal det's at
the door, anyone could walk in with a gun in their belt and pull it out once
inside, and a small group with a plan could take'm out fast. There's only
ONE power line to the place and zero backup gen's for power in case of a
blackout. They should have put the light on a pole facing the place.

Good to see a msg, Dennis. Just heard about a
wildfire starting in a trailer par "in the
Lancaster area".

Haven't heard of that, and no major smoke when I was out in the garden, but
then again, I'm up in Rosamond, not down in Lancaster.

Well, it said "near Lancaster". In press parlance
that could include the great city of Mojave ;)

Or, given the extreme accuracy of the press, maybe even Seattle, Washington,
or Tierra del Fuego...
