info tidbit

i wanna discuss something in this entry, that involves a bit of national security. so if you happen to be a terrorist or bad person in overall, please don't come to my blog and read this. please don't. and please don't continue reading this. but i'm sure being all that great your god is and all you probably have what i have to say figured out already by now.

today i'm going to talk about barricades. the little stone-carved stumps that prevent vehicles from driving past certain restricted zones? well yes. i'm going to talk about those.

certain buildings in town have that kind of security feature. i shouldn't name which ones. but if you notice enough, you probably can figure out which ones. there are these round pillar-like stumps that prevent vehicles from driving thru a driveway that seemingly is meant to allow vehicles to drive thru. the stone stumps, well, they are driven by a piston. and controlled by a security officer in the building somewhere, to raise or lower the barrier. what this means is, the stumps can be submerged into the ground to allow certain vehicles to enter the restricted area. but this feature is so well designed normal passers-by won't really observe this happening. but it is really pretty useful a deterrent.

there's another unique barrier as well. it's a larger version of the stone stump. it's a long stretch of barrier that raises to stop entry of vehicles into a building. it has a "no entry" sign printed on it. but once deactivated it lowers and is flush with the ground.
