I dunno. My first thought was David Lamm Jr. Then I looked at the carefully
obscured face and he’s older than I thought. I think we’re looking at the
effect of Teresa’s healing. Lamm may have only been that skinny earlier
because of his illness. Or it may just be pure coincidence. I HOPE it isn’t
someone using Lamm’s credentials or rep to get a job/office by impersonating
him. But the fact that neither lady reacted much to the name drop of one
of the Empire’s Founders implies either that they are unaware of who David
Lamm is. Teresa seemed to be downplaying his importance when we met
him, NOT putting him in a group with Matthew, Jonathan and King. The other
high probability I see is that they were expecting to meet him just like this.
I’ve met first cousins with the same name before. Also unrelated
people who just happen to be in similar professions. The latter
is pure coincidence. The former is all too often parents arguing
over who gets to name their kid after Great-granddad. So much
for the delightful conspiracy I was imagining, though, with a
re-invigorated Lamm laying groundwork for the Empire’s
relatively peaceful absorption of this area.
Back around the time of the pilgrims it was almost de riguer to
name the first-born male after dad; first born female after mom.
If one dies before reaching maturity, name the next of the same
gender with the name. I had one ancestor who was the third
to bear the name Alice among her siblings, the first two having
died at like 10, and the next died at 3.
And of course, the second son got grandpa’s name, then #3 the
other grandpa’s name. Only #4 got something different. Within
four generations, you could have a dozen first born sons all
named “William”, or “John”, or “Jacob”.
Why yes, it is exceedingly difficult doing genealogy research
with that little custom. Why do you ask? Grumble, grumble,
grumble . . .
if this one lives long enough, maybe one day we’ll have
a vignette where sheriff David Lamm treats sheriff David
Lamm to a beer and they both laugh about it.
jus sayin… back in home town in the 70s,. the phone book had
7 pages of Stanley.. 2 collum’s of R’s,. an 9 Rob’s.. And only a
fifth of em were related.!! in denver, i opened the door to a “No
knock raid” , before the raid.. (i was going to work..), the lead
asked “are you rob stanley?” i sed “yes”.. he called off the raid..
i later found out the rs they were looking for was 6 foot an black..
i was 5’2″ an very pale white.. https://external-preview.redd.it/Mwlpz-8F6FjQKeC2fJtH1e0fEuNJeYwEArNFyurYQhs.jpg?auto=webp&s=9914c538c00aa98b6cb7f75b8651cee5b8433000
Unrelated people with exactly the same name (both first and last)
are more common than people think. I work at the university.
Among almost 4k employees we have several such “pairs”.
And I don’t count students…
After all, there is a limited number
of popular first and family names.
I live in a small (by some standards) city. This one and
the one next door combined have about 237,000 total
population. I know of four different guys all with the
same first and last names, none related, and the names
aren’t that common. Or I wouldn’t think so, anyway.
Thank the good lord! I had hoped at least some of the locals
would be happy to see them. Hopefully most of the rest will too,
but there’s always trouble-makers and nay-sayers that seem to
only exist to stir up trouble.
Interesting, a passenger module for the long run hauler or a unit
for that general-propose mini cargo / commercial / support craft
that Chirk was telling Mistrial about.
“passenger module,” i would say that this is a “short range”
passenger cargo. as in less than 3 days.
because, 1) our longest IRW flight is 19 hours,. an have about
same accommodations..
2) anything longer will have to have way different accommodations.
3) it’s hard enough, to get kids (an some adults) to stay on long
flights (or long car rides) Now lets add 3 days… so yeah,
some place to go..
4) sleeping. – 1 or 2 days sleeping in those chairs is bad enough,
3 is pushing it.
5) so like trains, an have cube rooms, an observation deck/ game room…
That’s definitely not one of the full size passenger modules to go on the
big freighter I made. For one thing I was never asked to execute interiors.
For another it’s vastly too small. The independent pax modules I made
are 32′ (~10m) across and have 3 floors. I suspect PC whipped that set
out of primitives and it looks to be small enough to be carried by a Locust.
There was talk of the humans making a ship with specialty
modules for light shipping, economy or luxury passenger,
and with a tactical module. This could be one of those?
Did Sheriff Lamm put on weight?
Or a different Lamm? Sheriff intro. Ok.
A different one.

Or else the author once again forgot the names of his own characters.
Yeah, this is a different Sheriff.

LOL That was what I figured.
“Now what would a good name for a Sheriff be?
I know! David Lamm.”
Brain farts hit all of us, Catman.
I just thought it was a relative.
Lamm isn’t that rare of a name,
mine was 4th most common
when I looked it up

I’m sure you’re right, considering the shear mass of the long hauler,
this module would INSIDE one of those cargo modules.

.. that’s what i thought.!

Nah… I’m betting its a converted insulated
freezer module for carrying bulk Ice Cream.
I’m betting that it’s a HUGE seller on Catia..!
^ (remembers the video meme of a cat getting
brain freeze from ice cream and picturing Miral)

Yeah, once the figure out how NOT to eat it too fast, they usually
rather like it. But NO Chocolate..! Its poisonous to cats…
after weaning, cats / kittens don’t have the enzyme to digest milk.
so.. too much will give em diarrhea.!!
