Unusual goings on.......?

Around here.... Police car chases of people acting suspicously.... leading to search's of local dams feeding power plants..... to find 'suspicious' packages which a trooper was overheard describing as 'bombs'... leading to armed guards on those dams and the river being dredged.... a local boat rental owner describing 'midle eastern' guys renting a boat and asking 'a lot of questions' about one of the power plants and access to it..... And all of this comes to me from word of mouth, none of it in the papers. One of the troopers involved in the chase throws a belt.. and is overheard talking about it as his car is serviced at a local dealer and my buddy is there picking up parts for our shop.... a truck in for service and the vehicle owner (retired old guy) tells us about hanging out with his boat rental buddy when the 'middle eastern' guys come in and ask questions.... My friend is out fishing and gets warned off from the dam area while the dredging is going on, and wonders why armed officers need to watch over a dredge... Life is just a little bit interesting right now. Anything off the wall going on in your area? Aside.... it's amazing how much information can pass through a car repair shop if you just engage people and keep your ears open.

    Yes sir, I went to Dallas this week to see my daughter and then fish a little....I seen two cars pulled over on the whole trip....One was pulled over by a Hiway Patrol and the other was pulled over by a city cop.....Never thought much about it, except that the drivers, I noticed were Mid Eastern......Coincidence maybe......

    I firmly believe that this terrorist thing is just what our gov. was looking for to use as an excuse to take away the few freedoms we have left.

    A lot of rumors and political panic. Our area's water supplies come from a buch of big resevoirs. Local pols are talking about dome covers for all the resevoirs at the cost of billions of dollars. No dome is going to deter an one really intent on polluting the water supply.

    edharold: And where do the resevoirs get the water from? Somebody with more knowledge in this area jump right in, but don't virtually all water supplies originate out in nature- lakes, rivers, etc? It may have a long and winding path to your kitchen sink, but the prime source is unprotectable if you know what your doing??? So dome covers would be a waste of money, wouldn't they?No really strange things, just figthing the traffic past the Wright Patt gates, send off parties for the colleagues getting called up, and local Wal-Mart and Meijers carrying an unusually large and reasonably priced selection of "patriotic" items. (btw, both have a large employee base of "middle eastern" and looking like middle eastern people).
