I'm downloading it...looks like it's gonna take about 20 minutes...no big deal.
I'm following that white van story...sounds like they have it pulled over.
Gosh I hope this is the guy.
To: HairOfTheDog
It took me about twenty minutes to upload it at home! I really want cable...going from work internet speed to home internet speed is VERY aggravating...
To: 2Jedismom
I don't think they have it.... they are pulling over all the white vans... Not one in particular.
To: HairOfTheDog
I hope they're really sure it was someone in a white van! It would be horrid if they checked all white vans and then found out someone just THOUGHT they saw him in a white van.
I haven't been following this story as closely as some of you, but I really don't understand why they haven't been able to catch him yet! Seems like cordoning off traffic and checking car by car SHOULD have trapped him long ago...

Here's one advertised as Squirrel Proof for songbirds.

I might like to get one! We love listening to the songbirds in our backyard. I swear, sometimes they even drown out the noise from Rt. 9 whcih is a half a mile away! That's ok, I'd rather hear the birds. (except for the crows, that is!)

Pray for the police involved... These/this deviant(s) have everything to lose if they get cornered.
This latest victim has now been pronounced dead.
To: HairOfTheDog
Just terrible.
To: RosieCotton
I think the key is getting it coordinated enough and getting a roadblock in place fast enough.... they have to be able to block all the exits and trap them. Of course... Caught in the trap also are thousands of innocents in the backup. That is a big risk to take.
But that is what they have done. Maybe the bad guys are in the trap, maybe not. Hopefully.
But they are just checking white vans, I am watching it live. They are waving the others through, and the talking heads on TV are questioning the wisdom of that too...

Pray for the police involved... These/this deviant(s) have everything to lose if they get cornered. I hadn't even thought about this danger. Thanks for the reminder...

Dang, girl, y'all are great!! I closed my eyes and listened, and but for the lack of uilleann pipes, I would have sworn I was listening to one of my Chieftan's CD's!!
Who's playing the bodhran? That is actually one of my favorite instruments; but I've always been partial to percussion. Must date back to the crush I had on a drummer in the high school marching band in the 10th grade; LOL!!
And I did hear the little beastie in the background, but not enough to mar the delight from the music!
To: ksen
Well, on this depressing note, I bid you all a fond farewell. I must leave The Shire now, and venture out into the wild to peddle my wares to vicious "businessmen". These people wear such odd clothing, and are quite ill-tempered...wish me luck.
I should return in time for afternoon tea. Ta.

Yeah.... someone's life has just been ripped apart... his wife witnessed it and made the 911 call.
Boy I am a downer this morning! - I just got caught up with all the posts... Didn't mean to stop all the fun, I would just rather talk to you guys than anyone else!
To: ItsOurTimeNow
Careful.... Travel only by day, and stay off the road!
To: SuziQ
Who's playing the bodhran?No bodhran...that's my floor! Not bad, is it?
We've been trying desperately to find someone willing to play the bodhran, but so far without success. Dad keeps telling me I need to marry either a bodhran player or possibly a bass player. ;-)
To: RosieCotton
Yeah - Guys that are on a rampage like this scare me.... They could do anything when cornered.
To: ksen; Bear_in_RoseBear
Sorry Suzi, you missed by this much.I know! I don't know how to do it like you professional sneaks! And my computer was so slow, that the letters I was typing were not showing up right as I typed them. It was SO frustrating!
But we didn't spam, we did a dignified run for the triple precious, right Bear? So we can hold our heads up high! At least if we've had enough coffee after that late night!
To: SuziQ
As for the lack of uillean pipes, we're working on Bilbo Bagpipes, but so far he claims they're too much work, since he's already a Grand Highland piper...not enough time to practice both.
To: ksen
I like how PJ showed a compassionate side to Boromir at that sceneMe too, ksen! I noticed that, as you mentioned, with his hand on Gimli's shoulder as Gandalf was reading from the book written by the dwarf during their last stand. That's why I like Boromir so much; his is a very complex character!
To: HairOfTheDog
Yeah - Guys that are on a rampage like this scare me.... They could do anything when cornered. Exactly.
I just hope it's A guy rather than a group of some sort. And that it isn't a nutcase that doesn't mind dying if it lets him take out more people.
Boy, am I positive!
