Rain and thunderstorms today, yet it is forecasted to be sunny and 100 degrees next week.

I wouldn't mind hitting up that historic Bakersfield...before it ends up in the drink. Lol

You have been listening to too much Dwight Yoakam. There isn’t anything “historic” about dust bowl Bakersfield.

Archaeological evidence indicates the presence of Native American settlements dating back thousands of years. The Yokuts lived in lodges along the branches of the Kern River delta and hunted antelope, tule elk, deer, bear, fish, and game birds. In 1776, Spanish missionary Father Francisco Garcés became the first European to explore the area. Owing to the remoteness and inaccessibility of the region, however, the Yokuts remained largely isolated until after the Mexican War of Independence, when Mexican settlers began to migrate to the area. Following the discovery of gold in California in 1848, settlers flooded into the San Joaquin Valley. In 1851, gold was discovered along the Kern River in the southern Sierra Nevada, and in 1865, oil was discovered in the valley.[22] The Bakersfield area, once a tule reed-covered marshland, was first known as Kern Island to the handful of pioneers, who built log cabins there in 1860. The area was subject to periodic flooding from the Kern River, which occupied what is now the downtown area, and experienced outbreaks of malaria.

I bet the Yokuts made it as they were obviously an Alien colony.

I never even though to look into them! Coming from an area as rich in history as Bakersfield, anything is a possibility.

Why is Wind refusing to co firm or deny your pidgeon bomb? Possibly because it was lost off one of his birds?

The whole central California valley is “historic” in that sense. A few years back I actually found an 1851 model, U.S. Army issued Civil War eagle sword belt plate in downtown Fresno. Many of the soldiers came to California after the war ended to join in the gold rush. Some just came with what they were wearing and someone ended up losing it.

Yep, Carrier Pigeon capsule. It was held to the pigeon's back with a small harness.
Probably from WWII. Very interesting history about some of the birds that served during WWII.
 

But why would wind try and bomb me? Does he want to be Last that badly?

Could be. Million dollar prize and lasting fame might have clouded his mind.
Better get some anti aircraft guns. Should work on pidgeons.
