Bad enough the money was wasted, but along with that there countless lives lost in Chicago. Kids who could have benefited by those Challenge dollars. Mentors, safe neighborhoods, a better quality of life for all.

Instead they chose to use the money for the radicalization of those who were willing to sell out their own community.

But (real question) doesn’t Google Earth and other satellite surveillance make escape shelters like that obsolete? Unless it’s an underground bunker?

If you're back in the woods and away from things, it's unlikely anyone will take the time and effort to come get you. At least right away.

Back where I live, the only cops are State Police, and they don't come out this way unless someone calls them or something happens to make them have to.

Here there's more guns than people!

LOL ~ That’s what happens when I’m kept awake all night by a barking dog, and I try to post while finally falling asleep.

“Anyway, kind of sad how a ninety year old woman buys herself that huge rock, then is gone from this earth a year later.”

I think Ecclesiastes had something to say about that...

Reminds me of a story my late father used to tell.

Two well-dressed women sitting in First Class on a NY-LA flight. One woman says to the other:
"Oh my...what a beautiful diamond ring."
Woman replies with a slight smile: "Why thank you."
First woman looks twice at diamond and jaw drops a bit: "Isn't that the Klopman Diamond?"
"Why yes it is, as a matter of fact..."
"But doesn't that diamond come with a curse?"
"Yes it does. Mister Klopman."
