"I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat"
KHOBAR, Saudi Arabia - Tens of American, European and other hostages were released Sunday and a gunman believed to be the lead Islamic militant holding them was arrested, a Saudi security official said, adding that two other gunmen were "in the process of being arrested."
We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm
You are definately on to something, we just aren't sure what. :)
I'm just out there casting about. :)
Remember the threat (way back when) where they stated N.Y., D.C., Las Vegas. New York City latitude is 40 degrees, D.C. latitude is 38, Las Vegas is 36.
In the continental U.S. what is opposite (left is right): Opposite of N.Y. (40 degrees) is actually not much :-) Susanville and Redding, CA are both 40 degrees. Marysville, CA is 39.10 degrees and that is where Beale AFB is located. I do not know what else is there (ports, power stations,etc.). I just don't know.
Opposite of D.C. (38 degrees) is Sacramento, CA (38 degrees) which is also where McClellan AFB is, also (obviously) CA state capitol. San Francisco is 37.75 degrees.
Opposite Las Vegas (36 degrees) is Greensboro and Winston-Salem, N.C., both thick with muslims and mosques, I believe. Norfolk, VA (we all know major military) is also listed at 36 degrees.
Just putting the wild brain storm out there.
More than 100 firefighters were battling a five-alarm fire Wednesday that had spread to several businesses at a San Jose shopping mall.

One more Broken Arrow, OK. large Muslim pop
Ack! I have been drinking Stroh's beer this week to help dull tooth pain. Should I induce a vomit or is it too late?!
Do you think that is a "real" site or a dummy?
This is kind of interesting or I'm just sleepy.
Most of their sales are beer and cigarettes, but the brothers say they don't indulge because they are Muslims. Besides, Steve says, he has seen what liquor and drugs have done to many of their customers and to former classmates, friends and neighbors.
The brothers grew up mostly in the Bayview, on Third Street, facing the Star Market, in an apartment above somebody else's store. They say they haven't had problems fitting into the black neighborhood. They don't consider themselves white but "other,'' says Billy, who has "Palestine" tattooed on his arm, in honor of his ethnicity.

I believe Jill mentioned it on here and a possibly at her site yesterday or the day before. It was speculation on her part as to what/where the next attack might be.
Just look at all the nukes Broken arrows...
quote: February 13, 1950
A B-36 Bomber drops a nuclear weapon from 8,000 ft. over the Pacific Ocean before crashing after experiencing serious mechanical difficulties on a simulated combat mission. Only the weapon's explosive material detonates. The bomb is never recovered from the ocean.
April 11, 1950
A B-29 Bomber carrying a nuclear bomb crashes into a mountain on Manzano Base near Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico. The bomb is destroyed but the accompanying nuclear capsule, which had not been inserted into bomb, remains intact.
July 27, 1956

May 22, 1957
A B-36 ferrying a nuclear weapon from Biggs Air Force Base, Texas to Kirtland accidentally discharges a bomb in the New Mexico desert. The high explosive material detonates, completely destroying the weapon and making a crater approximately 25 ft in diameter and 12 ft deep. Radiological survey of the area disclosed no radioactivity beyond the lip of the crater at which point the level was 0.5 milliroentgens. The nuclear capsules had not been inserted into the bombs. A nuclear detonation was not possible.
July 28, 1957

Thank you all so very much for the wonderful birthday messages.
As one of you said....my vehicle may be old....but, Lordy, my spirit is young!
My grandchildren asked for some of my memories. This is what I told them:
Air raid drills and hiding under the school desk ( yes, like that would do any good)
White band-aids
Elvis
margarine in a plastic bag with a color capsule that you had to squeeze and break to make it yellow.
Scooters
poodle skirts and hula hoops
Coke in 8 ounce bottles
milkmen
black and white television
I like Ike
bombed out buildings in Munich (I was there)
candles on Christmas trees (can't do it now)
Mom cleaning the house in her high heeled shoes (not me!)
our '52 Chevy when we came here from Germany
And so many, many more.
I wish life could be so simple again.
Thanks for the wishes.

Ahhhhhhhh, thank you. I was just cruising Jill's site. Thanks for the reminder.
this thing, makes me think that she is pure evil.
One word came to mind hitler.
ok, two words, insane.
If she is really fed. gov. then there is still a sick cookie writing the script.
she says she is a doctor.
I remember it as well......Musharaff??
That is really weird (her photo there with the others). I remember when she was, briefly, at FR. I googled her first name and only came up with one hit, which was nothing really.
What KEWL Grandkids. :)
You're nasty. ;)
You remember too? Oh, good. I was starting to think you guys thought I was crazy!!!
Okay everybody, I'm heading out. Goodnight all.
Keep the Stroh's down and enjoy.
