I have family in Columbus. I hope they bury this guy under the prison if found guilty.
I've always thought and said they'd go after small town America if they really wanted to frighten people. Most of America is small town, and we who live there or in the country tend to feel safer because we're not in a "target" area.
I was at the pharmacy the other day and asked about purchasing decontamination powder. The pharmacist was a 20-something I'll never die type person. He was nice, and helpful but stated that we would never be hit or experience bio/chem or any other "big stuff". I just smiled and asked if talc would do to have in my supply. He said yes and I left. You know, though, where I live is in a moderate city, surrounded by army bases and symbolic targets. I really, truly think he was being a bit on the naive side. But then, when I was 20-something...........
(sigh)
I understand.
Well now, I was 20 something once, too.
