Yes I did miss your Ping - sorry to say. Thanks for the enlightenment.

Channel 4 in Spokane tonight did a story on another topic of concern. They stated Washington State is using infrared sensor technology, snowmobiles, skidoos, night vision, and increased manpower for border protection (they have made some very large drug busts). It was indicated they are contemplating monitors within the Columbia River to further surveil illegal border crossing. That was very good news for a Friday the 13th.

Mexico Agents Seize 12 Tons of Marijuana

MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Mexican federal agents in the border state of Sonora discovered about 12 tons of marijuana stuffed into nearly 4,000 plastic packets and hidden inside a tanker truck hauling vegetable oil, authorities said Friday.

Police stopped the big rig at a routine highway checkpoint and discovered that each of its metal tanks had been hollowed out to carry packets of marijuana under its legitimate payload of vegetable oil, the federal attorney general's office said.
