Picture of the Day

Dummy head used by John Anglin to fool prison guards during his escape from Alcatraz Prison. Him and his 2 companions whereabouts are still unknown. The head was made of cloth, soap, toothpaste, concrete-dust and human hair.

On June 11, 1962, three Alcatraz inmates used dummy heads to pull off perhaps the most daring prison break in recorded history. That night, brothers Clarence and John Anglin and their friend Frank Morris managed to make it off “The Rock” — but whether they made it safely to shore remains a mystery to this day.⁠

What’s It Like To Be Financially Independent

what is financial independence like

I am in my 40’s, live in a large US city. Never married, no kids.

I stopped working about 5 years ago. The experience has been largely good, but mixed.

I want to be healthy, and happy instead.
