Seen around town …
Here's a message from Drew Smith:
I was driving by MPC Lighting & Communication today and spotted an old military vehicle outside being worked on. I was told it's an MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicle built around 2007 or 2008 at a cost of $648,000. It saw service in both Iraq and Afghanistan before being decommissioned recently. From what I understand, the Department of Defense has an excess of these vehicles, and keeping them in storage is too expensive. As a result, the first 12 were given to local law enforcement SWAT teams, with NIPAS being the only Illinois agency to receive one so far. The vehicle is heavily armored, all weapons have been removed, but it still retains many useful features. One key difference is that it runs on a 12VDC system instead of the older 24VDC used in military vehicles. It also comes equipped with a large front-mounted winch and a rear ramp with stairs. I was told that NIPAS plans to paint and label it to match their fleet. Plus, the federal government did a full maintenance check and even installed new tires before handing it over.

Also, Rutland-Dundee had a new engine being installed for some upcoming work.

A mascara tube is a small cylindrical container that holds mascara. It typically has a screw-on cap and a wand applicator attached to the cap. The tube is designed to hold the mascara formula and keep it from drying out. The wand applicator is used to apply the mascara to the eyelashes, allowing for lengthening, volumizing, and defining effects.
