[HOE] The Librarian's Almanac for November 13th

FLORENCE, ARIZONA- Law Dogs from four states have issued a proclamation
concerning David Cannon, a Law Dog formerly responsible for the southern
portions of Arizona. Steel Zachary, James Carpenter, Tony Liddle, Hardcase
Curtis, Rob Dixon, and Judge Fargo have reviewed an number of complaints and
found Cannon guilty of running a protection racket in a number of survivor
settlements in his area of responsibility. The guilty party was threatening
to let the towns be overrun with gangers and hostile muties unless he was
paid off in food, prime salvage and bullets. Cannon has vanished from his
region of responsibility; there is a thousand bullet reward offered for his
capture and delivery to the penitentiary in Florence to stand trial.

HOBBS, NEW MEXICO- Schismatic Doomsayers in the western flatlands of Texas
report activity around some of the abandoned oil pumps southwest of the
Midland-Odessa ruins. The Glow priests were late for a meeting with others
of their sect and had no time to investigate.

BROWNSVILLE REFUGE, SOUTH TEXAS- Word arrives that the Franklin Mountain
Enclave in El Paso has begun a very audacious undertaking. Librarians, along
with any other skilled wasters are invited to the southwestern portion of
the Franklin Mountains to the re-opened Community College campus. The group
in charge is offering free room and board to those who are willing to pass
on workable skills for people to apply to survival. They are also offering
prime negotiable pay for those wasters willing to brave the dangers around
the old University of Texas campus to scavenge needed equipment and texts
for the new center of learning. The obstacles include the nearby Ghost
Storm, random toxic whirlwinds, very large radrat packs, veteran walkin'
dead, multi-legged albino pumas, and the occasional blast shadow.
