Teg FTW!

Unfortunately, I didn't know any vampire LARP'ers back then, and I hadn't even started thinking about writing RPG material, so I couldn't emulate Vampire Lord Tegyrius.

Thanks, CB. So, if not drafted, I might have joined some sort of local militia to help fight off the Mexican invasion. Given my fairly limited but highly successful paintball career, I might survive a few firefights before catching a bullet.

Re agriculture, very little, if any, of that wheat and corn is grown within 30 miles of the city. All the nearby farms grow cotton or hay (one grows pumpkins for the annual fall pumpkin patch). So, starvation is going to start as soon as fuel shortages delay and, ultimately, halt distribution. then there's the dry, 110F heat that starts in May and last until September...

I am, however, a big Mad Max fan (not the first one, but all the rest), so if I could find some hockey pads and a pair of assless chaps, maybe I could hold out a little longer.

Yeah, any way you look at it, I'm probably going to die before 2000.
