I must be living in District 13 . . .

Rating: 8/10 (3 December 2014)

. . . since all week there have been mystery workers pouring cement truck after cement truck worth of bunker material into a suspicious hole in the ground two blocks from my house. Anyone who has seen THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY - - PART ONE knows that the story revolves around a man-made bunker about the size of Cleveland in District 13, America's apparent future. Every humongous bunker needs to start somewhere, and my theory is that the future District 13 is beginning a couple stones' throws from my house. Since I live between two spring-fed lakes, the water table is really high, and the workers needed to wait until the ground was cold enough that they could dig without the threat of earth-wall collapses. There has been a dummy "sewer pumping" station in place at this work site for a few years to ward off suspicion from the future District One dictators of Panem. After all, what's the point of building a "secret" bunker if it can be easily "nipped in the bud"? But the security arrangements--complete with impenetrable orange barriers--is a dead giveaway that there's more than waste pumps going into the ground near my house. When you see MOCKINGJAY, you'll realize that it takes decades to construct giant bunkers hundreds of feet deep capable of concealing thousands of people, air bases, etc. What better place to disguise the main entrance than between two lakes? Plus, I think I sometimes hear the truckers humming that "Hanging Tree" song, while they're waiting to dump another load of cement. So if you all want to be hunkering in the bunker even BEFORE Kaniss arrives, C'Mon on down!
