ALABAMABACK ROAD - DAY It's a sunny, winter day on a paved country in south/western Alabama. In the distance, peaking over a loping hill we see a faded metallic green, 1964 Buick Skylark with a white convertible top and New York plates. As it approaches, we see two young men in the car, both with dark hair and sunglasses. They look cool. CLOSE SHOT - RADIO A hand turns the dial in search of something contemporary -­ finding nothing but country music ••• RADIO (singing) If you can't live without me, then why aren't you dead ••• ? ••• and local ads with southern accents, farm reports, evangelists, gospel singers, and a woman with marital problems seeks guidance from a radio preacher. ON THE ROAD ( The two-lane paved country road passes through huge fields of cotton plants - little shrubs with little, fluffy tufts of white. On the side of the road, every 100 yards or so, we see 8' X 8' X 20' trussed-up, squared-off bales of cotton covered with plastic tarps - waiting to be picked up and trucked off. Up ahead they approach a long bed truck filled with logs on the way to a sawmill -- this is also lumber country. They overtake the truck. They also pass a lot of things you see in the deep south that you don't see up north -- little, ramshackle fruit stands with weather-beaten signs saying "We accept food stamps," crude hand-lettered signs offering Vidalia onions, pecans, propane, bull• for sale, a cattle crossing sign -- a black silhouette of a cow on a round yellow background with a black border, grain silo• -- big and small.

  • Mortal Engines by Phillip Reeve PART
    Mortal Engines By Phillip Reeve PART ONE 1 THE HUNTING GROUND It was a dark, blustery afternoon in spring, and the city of London was chasing a small mining town across the dried-out bed of the old North Sea. In happier times, London would never have bothered with such feeble prey. The great Traction City had once spent its days hunting far bigger towns than this, ranging north as far as the edges of the Ice Waste and south to the shores of the Mediterranean. But lately prey of any kind had started to grow scarce, and some of the larger cities had begun to look hungrily at London. For ten years now it had been hiding from them, skulking in a damp, mountainous, western district which the Guild of Historians said had once been the island of Britain. For ten years it had eaten nothing but tiny farming towns and static settlements in those wet hills. Now, at last, the Lord Mayor had decided that the time was right to take his city back over the land-bridge into the Great Hunting Ground. It was barely halfway across when the look-outs on the high watch-towers spied the mining town, gnawing at the salt-flats twenty miles ahead. To the people of London it seemed like a sign from the gods, and even the Lord Mayor (who didn't believe in gods or signs) thought it was a good beginning to the journey east, and issued the order to give chase. The mining town saw the danger and turned tail, but already the huge caterpillar tracks under London were starting to roll faster and faster.

  • Proposed Firearms Ordinance Message
    Your name: Harwood Loomis Your e-mail address: [email protected] Subject: Proposed Firearms Ordinance Message: Please be advised that the anti-firearms ordinance you are contemplating is an unwarranted infringement on a constitutionally-guaranteed right, and it will not -- in fact, it cannot -- accomplish your intended goal. This is not a "Second Amendment:" issue -- this is far closer to home. Please review our State constitution. Article I, § 15 of the State constitution states: “Every citizen has a right to bear arms in defense of himself [or herself] and the state.” This provision has been in our State constitution without change since the State constitution was first adopted, in 1818. That's more than 200 years. By definition, criminals do not obey laws. A study of mass shootings in the United States will show that a very high percentage of them were carried out in places where firearms were prohibited. Enacting further restrictions on where law-abiding citizens are allowed to exercise their constitutional right to be armed for self-defense only infringes the rights of the law-abiding, while doing nothing to stop criminals who pay no attention to signs or ordinances.
