User Mikado282 Granary, Kansas.png

When I was 15 years old, I started driving 30 ton loads of grain to this and other Granaries. It was easy to convince East Coast city kids that the silos held nuclear missiles; which of course we all know is true.

When I first started playing TF2, BLU's "modern" architecture (like Dustbowl 3rd stage) specifically reminded of the post-war concrete architecture of this Farmer's CO-OP General Office and Feed Mill. (My grandfather founded that CO-OP.) After I had managed to break addictions to Railroad Tycoon and Civilization, it was the nostalgia of Team Fortress 2 that sucked me back in.

Compare with File:Bluarchitechture.png.

To be fair, here is the RED elevator, rare now (because the ones that were still being used and taken care of were painted white or silver after WWII). Compare with File:Redarchitechture.png. The classic red paint was a frugal homemade mixture of skimmed milk, lime, and red iron oxide.


User Mikado282 IRL Loadout 01.png

(Heading out to split wood one evening, I thought I should share my loadouts:)
My evening and weekend loadout: (clockwise from lower left) Back Scratcher (note the authentic antique stamped-metal tines), Wrench, Equalizer, Homewrecker, Axe, Shovel (entrenching tool), Hot Hand (20,000 Volt insulated gloves), and Market Gardener! I have had this equipment for years before Team Fortress 2 was released!

My scout camp trip to Lakeside, South Dakota

I make reference to Lakeside not only because the camp was at a large lake, but coincidentally enough, the lake is lined with massive limestone bluffs, the same Coniacian age and quality of limestone as the Cretaceous limestone on the ancient Egyptian archaeological Giza Plateau.

Miscellaneous

Badlands geology

I met the new Geology professor. He grew up in the Badlands. I mentioned the Rio Grande Rift Valley and Valles Caldera. He replied, "North Central New Mexico is the most beautiful place on Earth." I told him, "You just made my profile!"
