Actually I was just checking in to find out what is going on.
It is way too quiet to suit me.

Sorry I have nothing to report at this time.

"I noticed that there were no commercial flights in the air since the bombing started. As of 5:18 pm I have only seen one, I am in a major flight path. Also I heard from San Diego and Dallas that no commercial flights were in the air near them as well. Could be a precaution, they may start up once things are secure. Anyone else notice this from elsewhere?"

I'm in the Phila flight path. VERY FEW flights have come in this afternoon.

I'd ask for you to bump me if you plan any NE Ohio FR meetings, but then I'm not sure you'd want me there as I can be both disruptive and reactionary. :-P

"Flights have been constant in and out of DFW all day. Lots of bogus rumors are going to be swarming around."

I have a subscription to Flight Explorer and it shows hundreds of planes in the air right now. Does not look like anything is being put on hold.

However I have had an Air Force plane fly over a couple of times within an 1 1/2 hrs after the attack started. Very unusual for this area

Could be. For 10 bucks a month anyone can subscribe.

What's doing at Hopkins??

[Lady GOP]

They must have activated all the little worms.

Cleveland.....brief update. unattended bag left at the Southwest air ticket counter. Security guard tending it. Most likely just a scatterbrain considering the earlier events.

Ahhhh.... Rocky Colavito...the player with the most printed baseball cards ever!...could never trade his card for anybodys..there was at least 1 Colavito card in every pack you bought!..*wink*..I always figured the Mafia had something to do with that!...He was a good player though..

hey Bekki, I live 32 miles east of Cleveland, your kids must live in Astabula County..Jefferson,Conneaut? Nice area

[afraidfortherepublic]

Remember the Orlando travel agency, check cashing company that was involved in the hijackings?

Thought I saw a news flash last week that the owner of that agency was cleared & released.

Ah yes, the Mafia!.......
I grew up in the Youngstown area, so I'm very familiar with Mafia influence (the Naples brothers being blown up in their cars, and stuff like that....................lots of good spaghetti in the area, though!!)

btw, do you still have a Rocky Colavito card??

[NeoCaveman]

disruptive and reactionary. :-P

I like that kind.
Meeting next Saturday, check the Ohio location for deatils, freepmail me if you have any questions.

Youngstown, I'm from Youngstown (originally) moved north for work....

"I have seen the terrorist. And he is us."

We are causing far more panic and terror ourselves than the terrorists are. Running out of buildings at the slightest hint of a threat, closing airports because of some senile codger who forgot to pick up his bag, misinterpreting everyday events in light of their possible connection to recent events...

I'm not even sure there NEEDS to be another attack on U.S. soil. We are chasing our tails around here. I hope it calms down. I hope our mission in Afghanistan bears fruit.
