Hiding in Plain Sight
From the Albuquerque Journal:
Looking for a place to grow marijuana and live, rent-free, in a cave with all the creature comforts of home? Why not a canyon, tucked away within the 40 square miles of the nation's top-secret nuclear weapons research facility in Los Alamos?
That's where Roy Michael Moore, 56, was recently discovered living in a cave equipped with a glass front door, a wood stove, a bed, electricity-generating solar panels with batteries to store the power, and lights.

“Roy Michael Moore”
Now there’s a name with two different levels of hell assigned to it.
I think this is how all Bond villians start out.
What boggles my mind is that apparently the guy’s only being charged with misdemeanors.
Pretty typical New Mexico stuff.
You just KNOW he had a blog. What’s it called?
“He was a very cordial gentleman” and dressed neatly and in such a way that an observer would not think to consider him homeless, Tucker said.
But he wasn’t homeless. Well, he is now!
I want to live in an America that venerates such men.
probably he was busted on improper fire exits or some sort of housing code violation. and farming without outrageous subsidity…. and…
I can’t believe nobody’s picked up on the easy joke in the name of the organization – Project On Government Oversight. As in “failing to notice the marijuana-growing caveman next door to its secret facility was quite an oversight”…
