It's been dumping a lot of rain since I last posted. Heavy heavy storm. Power flicked off and on a bit. I spent it all inside working on the longcoat I talked about. Well it's a waterproofed long vest with a hood now. I haven't made sleeves, and I haven't looked for a set of sleeves to put on it yet.

I haven't tested the waterproofing yet though.

Took a break and spent a few hours looking up news regarding my hometown. It looks like a couple weeks before everything went to hell there was a big bundle of documents declassified regarding my hometown in response to an ongoing lawsuit against the E.P.A. due to birth defects in a city near my hometown. They were detailing experiments done in and around the area.

They were still heavily censored but my hometown was mentioned, as well as the two surrounding cities. Apparently some kind of experiment with the drinking water, my hometown and the other were used as the test cases, since they both had prisons with stable populations that were easily monitored. The third one, which was in the central valley itself was the control group more or less.

The experiments lasted from 1986 to 1995 and the results were inconclusive.

Didn't even say what they were looking for, but there wasn't really a spike of any abnormalities.


There's a lot more to the story but in short: Coalinga [Test Group A], Avenal [Text Group B] and Lake Huron [control group]. It was also repeatedly stated that the in and around area around Kettleman City hasn't seen any testing secretly sanctioned by the U.S. government since the 1950's.

Wonder if I can find a non redacted version to find out what was being tested for in the late 80s early 90s.

Whelp other than that not much happened, well part of the carport flew away, but that's about it.
