"Sheets? Can you do something about making a stainless dress?"

Drudge is currently flashing a story about an imminent terror threat against German citizens in the country.
This morning, the State of Alabama was the announced winner of a $4 billion steel mfg. plant to be located in Mobile, Al by German steelmaker ThyssenKrupp. There was supposed to be a press conference and public announcement with Governor Riley and the CEO and other representatives of ThyssenKrupp.
About an hour ago, traffic was temporarily halted on I-85 West in Montgomery as approximately 50 police cars and motorcycles passed by along with 1 Humvee.
Information is locked up tight, and none of the authorities will talk with the local press about it and are claiming a lack of knowldege. There have been some statements in the local press (talk radio) that it involves Homeland Security.
Needless to say, something is up.
I guess the muzzies just could not bring themselves to use 7/11. All the other terrorist would make fun of them.
No, Forest Gump lives further south in Bayou Labatre.
Maybe he run up there???
There’s a Dunkin’ Donuts there. :>)
Ahhhhh.......all IS well
Life IS like a box of chocolates.........

Highway Numbering System
In 1925, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials set the guidelines for numbering interstates and U.S. highways. Some of these guidelines are:
Interstate north-south routes have odd numbers, with numbers increasing from west to east.
Interstate east-west routes have even numbers, with numbers increasing from south to north.
Interstate highway routes have one- or two- digit numbers.
North-south interstates ending with a 5 and east-west interstates ending with a 0 are typically major cross-country routes.
A three-digit interstate always ends with the two-digit number of the main interstate it loops off from, except I-238.
Three-digit road numbers beginning with an even number are either beltways that go around a city or freeways that go through a city.
Three-digit road numbers beginning with an odd number branch off the main interstate.
U.S. highway north-south routes have odd numbers, with numbers increasing from east to west.
U.S. highway east-west routes have even numbers, with numbers increasing from north to south.
U.S. highway east-west routes ending in 0 tend to be cross-country routes.
Three-digit U.S. routes contain the two digits of their parents routes, but there is not an odd and even number system.

“A lot” is used here as an adjective, isn’t it? “Rumors” seems to be the subject.
Reminds me of saying “The media are” when it would seem more logical to say “The media is”, but “media” is plural, n’est pas?
I-35 should have had an even didget instead of an EW running through the DFW area, but, this is our beloved Texas,we don’t care how they do it up north.
“That’s the one day they all show up for work.”
Not day...........place. That is the one place they all show up to work.

Alabama gets ThyssenKrupp steel plant
Staff and agencies
11 May, 2007
By GARRY MITCHELL, Associated Press Writer 44 minutes ago
MOBILE, Ala. - German steelmaker ThyssenKrupp AG said Friday it will build a $4.19 billion steel plant in Alabama in a project that could create thousands of jobs. Louisiana was the other finalist, and both states offered millions of dollars in tax breaks and other incentives to get the plant.
But a steelworkers union official said the plant could hurt the industry.
The plant, set to open in 2010, would employ as many as 2,700 workers when fully operational and create as many as 38,000 related jobs ranging from suppliers to transportation to dining and entertainment, the company said.
The steel company was lured by tax breaks and a $400 million incentives package approved by the state legislature. Alabama‘s proposal also was endorsed by governors and U.S. senators in neighboring Mississippi and Florida, with potential workers living near the plant site.
Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco said it was a “tremendous honor” to be one of two finalists among 20 states that had bid for the project.
The plant would be ThyssenKrupp‘s first steelmaking operation in the United States.
Initially, the company had said the project would run some $2.9 billion, but raised the amount because “higher capacities and extended plant configurations were shown to be feasible and economic.”
The facility will have an annual capacity of 4.1 million metric tons of carbon steel end products.
Pam Smart, a longtime waitress at the tiny Bee-Hive Cafe on U.S. 43 at Calvert, said Thursday she may sell her home and move.
Actually, I-85 ends/terminates/stops/finishes in Montgomery, AL. I-65 continues south to Mobile.
Drudge just replaced the story with the Santa Catalina fire, and moved it way down the page.
Odd that he would give this story his siren one minute, and hide it at the bottom an hour later.
“There are a lot of rumors”
“are” is acting on “lot” and not on “rumors”, since “of” makes “of rumors” an effective adjective on the word “lot”.
Since “lot” is a singular word (plural would be “lots”), “there is a lot of rumors” is appropriate, or “there are lots of rumors”, if you want to use “are”.
“There are a lot of rumors” is therefore incorrect.
Foxnews moved it down out of hot breaking 15 minutes ago, too.
“Pat Smart, waitress at the Beehive may sell her home and move” Those tax incentives work, grond not broken and job openings already!
