Exu sent me a letter!

So when I went down to check my campus mail today, among the textbook I ordered and a credit card offer, I found an usual letter waiting for. It caught my eye immediately because of it's black cat stamp. I had given my mailing address out in case anybody from the conclave wanted to contact us - could it be?

Opening it up, I found nothing less than a letter from Exu inside! I'm throwing some scans up on the wiki.

Edit: the first page, the second page, the map he sent me, and the envelope he sent it in.

Edit2: Detachment 3 and connections to Area 51

Hmm... I'll look into this detachment3. I've never heard of Thule Air Force Base.

That map looks a bit like a timeline of something. I'll take a closer look (I'm stuck at home with no transportation, due to automotive difficulties).

Yep, thule is a base. From the looks of my global email adress list (when I switch it to Thule), it's really small. Like less than a thousand folks.

Thule AB, Greenland. Originally a "secret" installation built in the 50's to combat the cold war. We had missles up there and jets ready to jump over the Arctic into Russia (but never needed).

The missles are gone, lonely mountains of dirt (except one site where you have cement & metal covers, but frozen water down below).

It's Air & Space Command, watching the nation's satellites. And refueling base. Helps out the Canadians up at Alert (Operation Boxtop twice a year restocks the northern most inhabited place on the planet). Mostly Danish contractors on the base, some USAF military assigned. My husband was there for a year in 1999-2000 and again in 2005-2006 (I got to visit in August 2006). 6 months 24 hr daylight, with the sun setting in early November and rising again in early March (give or take a few weeks).
We have tons of pictures. Look up konashark on flickr.
