Piper:

Sounds like a density gauge, and those are fairly common all over the country. They use them to measure concrete density.

They are radioactive, and some of the hum pretty good. The NRC licenses them and regulates them.

Stay safe and be careful JJ. Please give us updates as possible.

ExSoldier, are you in the storm's path? Let us know how you and your family are doing.

[JustPiper]

Bumping! Cam someone ping the Ill. Chapter to this please?

Great interview. I'm not a Mancow fan, I like his views but his show isn't me. Keyes just rocked! And that Stacy will come around, faster than she thinks! The Senate needs Alan Keyes!

Thanks for your concern (and your link to Jill's site--and Donna Lee nardo sent me a FM with it) but for ONCE we're gonna dodge the bullet. Dade, Broward and much of Palm Beach counties are about the only counties in the state not under any sort of watch. Shucks I guess it means that school starts on time!

Everything is fine with us. Pup has lost another seven pounds and is down to a mere 107 (from 138!) and got her new Heartworm vaccine. She has fully recovered from her ACL surgery in Febuary.

I'm pretty glad we're gonna miss this storm. I went thru Andrew and the aftermath was NOT a fun time. The aftermath of Andrew was like a "Mad Max" movie in some areas. Imagine getting smacked by a storm like that and then suffering a major terror attack? That's my nightmare.

[Right_Handed_Writer]

This sounds like the same kind of device that was tossed from a car last week Tuesday in Chicago that caused evacuations. I'd also like to know who was driving.

[Oorang]

Thanks to both of you for all the links and info. Greatly appreciated.

[ExSoldier]

Model 29 Smith. I qualified with those in the police academy!

Let me guess: You've got the drop on a bad guy and you say: "I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, I've lost count myself, but being this is a .44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world (then) and it could blow your head clean OFF, well, you've got to ask yourself a question. Do I feel lucky?"

[ExSoldier]

Okay, how many storms have you ridden out, you guys?
