alright, i'm going to get a few almanacs from home and start annotating them, where do you guys think I should start?

then i'm going to leave them on the passenger seat of my car in case I get pulled over or stopped at a checkpoint.

I'm thinking I just need to run a random integer gen and use that to pick pages to dog ear and write notes on.

"The FBI is warning police nationwide to be alert for people carrying almanacs, cautioning that the popular reference books covering everything from abbreviations to weather trends could be used for terrorist planning.

"In a bulletin sent Christmas Eve to about 18,000 police organizations, the FBI said terrorists may use almanacs "to assist with target selection and pre-operational planning."

"It urged officers to watch during searches, traffic stops and other investigations for anyone carrying almanacs, especially if the books are annotated in suspicious ways."

No indication whether seed catalogues are also considered suspicious.
