Stay Away from Nimrod

Death seems to be stalking the denizens of Nimrod recently. I've told my parents to get the hell out. In the last week, the community has lost 5 people, none of them over the age of 65. Two died after long battles with cancer, one died a week after being diagnosed with cancer and in an absolutely horrible tragedy, last night two men were killed when they were crushed by hay bales.

The town was absolutely rocked by the hay bale incident. Weird farm accidents happen a lot but they're always so freakish. Apparently, they loosened the ties, the load shifted and off they rolled. I guess if you're going to go, having a 1500 pound bale drop on you from 12 feet up is going to be relatively quick and painless, but man that's rough.

Tinker was a great guy who was involved in the Nimrod plan to Move E's Stuff. He let me borrow his semi for free which was pretty awesome of him.

Really, really terrible tragedy and the town's gonna feel it for a long while.
