a place to sleep

So, I was surfing the net about FEMA camps, where I'll be staying next month. Why? Because they STRICTLY FORBID any photography. So I wanted to see pictures from people who broke the rule.

Here's what I found instead. That FEMA closed the camps on April 10th. That Habitat for Humanity can no longer house volunteers there.

This, of course, paniced me somewhat, since that's the only place I have directions to.

Fortunately, however, I'm diligent, and found that with pressure FEMA extended its camp openings until June 1st. And here's an article on what I'll be doing.

What's interesting that I also found - FEMA camps are being built secretly across the country with the idea that they can hold huge numbers of people. Outside Fairbanks, one facility reportedly can hold 2 million people (that's three times the population of ALL of Alaska). There also strange sitings of US AirForce railroad cars equipped with many shackles.

Why? Lots of theories, of course. Illegal immigrants?

I'll get a week to do some of my own theorizing.

Here are the best comments on the pic of me all geared-up:
"Rather than funny, you look pretty cool, but that is a nerdy guy perspective."
"Now I'll get myself a policeuniform, and Jenny can get a black leather outfit orso, and we'll start singing YMCA!"
