We were ambushed in a small town.We thoguh the white picket fences and all that jazz was comforting. Well the sherriff doesn't like "new" faces. We one trigger happy sam later. We were running from Jethro and Cletus as fast as cyber humanly possible. We could have staye dand fought but wipeing out a town is not a good thing to have on the resumé. If you have some spare cash(lie anyone has spare cash) Calfree is a nice book, at least I think so. It demonstrates small towns all over. The south has them also, like Barstow, I am not sure of its current population today but, in the Calfree book it is made otu to be a small town. The Calfree Rangers are almost lifted directly from Mad Max. You pay a fine, that the Rangers put into a pot to pay for road maintainance and vehicle upgrades, with no government over sight. The big picture of one of the Calfree Rangers looks like a Mad Max reject. :) I forget the guys name, Crazy Louie?, you will know him if you see him, he drives a Studabaker with a loud speaker on the roof with "I Fought the Law and the Llaw Won" blasting, he lives around Barstow." I still laugh when I think of that line of shadow speak. |

NAN would indeed be badly depopulated leading to vacant anglo homesteads but the CAS and UCAS are probably just fine. The new profit of real food would stop the decline of farmers and they might even get a more protected status from the government due to the need to maintain farm lands from devleopment.
The war didn't reach into the surviving UCAS and most of CAS(Texas excepted) so that wouldn't have bothered them and VITAS, like the Black Death of the 15th century, was more likely to strike in densely packed areas, so isolated communities were probably safer. |

Whoever described Barstow must have had a stroke. It's not that small, but boy does it suck. |
