PPL in lonely states can see their location & them folding!

Post by Ken »

I didn't realize this, but if you live in a state, such as Montana, where there is not many people folding, you can find the blue dot in your area of your state and know that it is YOU!!!
Really cool! :)

You can also see where the high concentration of folders are!

Check it out and "find" yourself!! :)

Thanks Ken, nice find. There are so many dots in this area it is impossible to figure out which one is me though.

Where's my dot???

How sucky, not even a blue dot for the lil guy in the middle of the ocean. Should see somethin' right above Guam (east of the Philipines, way south of Japan). At least If I where still in Hawaii I'd be a part of that little mass of markers over there.

Pretty cool stat find Ken. Although it would have been cooler if I was RECOGNIZED.

Don't know where I am.
Don't know where I've been.
Don't know where I'm going. I'm lost I suppose...

Pretty cool....looks like I"m the only Folder from my address. Looking at Montana, I'd guess Mike's the only folder from his neck of the woods.
The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, and prejudices to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own for the children and the children yet unborn and the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone.
