They say it is in Collier Twp, which is a suburb of Pittsburgh, near/including (not sure) Bridgeville. I think it is SW of the city.

I go to a fitness center...(probably a lot of us at FR as well)

I often look around (while there) and wonder if something like this could happen...

This TV station (WTAE 4) is carrying news live now: http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/index.html It is a fairly nice area IMO. Middleclass, safe.

My private gym is basically a dungeon. Of course, it’s for powerlifters, olympic lifters, and strongman competitors. The only thing I notice is some sort of new species of insect every time I’m in there.

Why do this?? To young girls? Just read below. I kept a running log that includes my thoughts and actions, after I saw this project was going to drag on.

November 5, 2008:
Planned to do this in the summer but figure to stick around to see the election outcome. This particular one got so much attention and I was just curious. Not like I give a flying f*** who won, since this exit plan was already planned. Good luck to Obama! He will be successful. The liberal media LOVES him. Amerika has chosen The Black Man. Good!...
