From BlueSky: According to the Columbia wiki, Hamilton Hall was blockaded or taken over by protesters in 1968, 1969, 1972, 1985, 1987, 1992, and 1996.
I remember thinking similarly about the old X-Wing Rogue Squadron books by Michael Stackpole. Sometimes we get really lucky with those add on properties.
I’m sorry to report it appears to be dead.

Auto carrot is amazing.
The early books in the The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant series by Drew Hayes are very much like this. It feels very much like someone occasionally journaling a brief adventure they had and I think it pays off in the big picture as you go through the books.

It’s rare, but occasionally you stumble across a book that fundamentally changes the way you think. Ishmael was one of those for me.
This was a fun book that is a bit of a challenge to read with a purpose. The main character is an incredibly minor son of the emperor and never expected to be anywhere near the throne. But through an accident he is suddenly the next in line and needs to become the new emperor and needs now to understand a ton of court machinations and players and it’s that information dump that the author purposely throws on you same as it’s being thrown on the new emperor to keep you as overwhelmed feeling.
Some crops even grow well mixed with solar panels like tomatoes.
As another southern MN resident, 👋🏼.
I have family in SD and ND and live in southern MN. That’s just the current rural mentality in the Midwest unfortunately. And SD and ND are 99% rural.
