More Southwestern Spikage

Starr County Investigators Find Homemade Spikes on Side of Road
These things are popping up on a regular basis.  They've been around forever, technically known as caltrops, and are easily made by anyone with access to pointy stuff and a welder.  Every 1970's/80's survivalist/right-wing extremist book had instructions on how to make them, as if it was that complicated.  Maybe it was if you didn't cut the eye-holes in your pillowcase hood in the right places. They are popular with pot gardeners, too, though I'd love to know how many have wound up in their own feet after the grower forgot where they were.
