I'll keep an eye on them...
;^)
Well this hazmat thing is either far BIGGER or far WORSE...they estimated maybe opening by 2 am about an hour ago...to now saying 8 and possibly later.
THIS is the kind of scenario that could really paralyze cities if they did something intentionally prior to some sort of attack...screw up the major routes in/out and you have everyone stuck... (like could have been far worse in the fire situation here back in Oct.)...
And Kyla, start planning your route over to 5... Like for you maybe 67 to 15 and cross over either on 78 (although that may be the most crowded b/c it's the closest to the incident) or Del Dios Highway (at Via Rancho Parkway) if you know that route...that's probably the LEAST likely to be a huge mess...and still gets you to 5 far enough north to avoid a lot of the mess...or even the new 56 since it goes through...
But all that depends on the time of day...let me know what time you were leaving or PM me and I'll be happy to help ya with a back route... I've learned 'em all up in this part of town trying to avoid regular traffic...
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
9:13PM - THIS MAY NOT BE CLEAR UNTIL 0800 AND POSSIBLY LATER
9:02PM - SB TRAFFIC IS BACKED UP 1/4 MILE JNO OLD 395 O/C
me either I would like to know the original sources?
Gee the map I have shows 45 Degrees north as passing just south of Ottawa. That is a bit north for NY state.

Hey...I was just going to post you a link to that. We are a doomed nation even without terroists.
Maybe I copied the wrong set. Good then.
Exactly, Granny! Thank you. You think more intelligently than most local governments. PSAs or Public Service Announcements are aired for free and the cost is only what it takes to produce the spots and to duplicate and distribute the audiotapes or videotapes.
Every area has radio stations and tv stations; and so many locales even have public or community tv stations (I won't even get into the print media). Each of these venues are obligated to air PSAs. Local governments have dropped the ball, no, actually, many have not even bothered to enter the game.
People wonder (including me) why many folks don't take terror threats and other emergencies seriously, and it is because the local governments -- which are closer to the people -- are not saying a word. They are training the first responders and asking for professional volunteers, nurses, EMT workers, drs, auxillary police, etc., and that is good. But they are not making the general non-professional and/or non-partcipating populaces aware of how to be prepared in the most general of ways.
We are among the few here on TM as far as that goes. I know many of us get looks and comments from others who are within our social and familial spheres, but the majority of the American public, I would venture to guess, falls in that same "unawares" category. It seems to cross all social and economic boundries and the local governments are to blame. They can work with the entire spectrum of community-based groups whether social, business, political, fraternal, etc., to share the "awareness" workload even, but they are not doing that here where I am. From what I have been hearing, it is far-spread. For crying out loud, it doesn't take too much money or elbow grease to get the word out.
Our governments are all preparing to respond to disasters just in case, and it is about time that all people prepare to shelter with food and water just in case. We know that if something should happen in any one community, that the local responders will try to mediate the disaster, but who will provide the food and water to the folks who did not know to prepare or to those who poo-poohed preparation talk while the government concentrates on disaster recovery?
As horrific and wide-ranging as 911 was, it was limited physically to 4 areas. States all over the U.S. responded with contributions of food and water, etc. While we can hope that nothing ever will eclipse that diaster and prevent such teamwork, we really shouldn't rely on that always being the case. Because if something more widespread does ever happen, than some folks may be on their own. That is the word that local govs should be getting out to their constituentcies.
Yeah, who needs terrorists when we will hand over control to them without them firing at shot.
The article from the Washington Times confirming the frequent and ongoing testing/probing by middle-eastern men on flights is flat-out astonishing! We've all suspected it, but never realized just how intense it is, what a game it is to the Jihadis . . . it reminds me of how the nuke subs would track each other during the Cold War, watching, probing, high stakes cat and mouse . . . there is now no doubt in my mind that it's just a matter of time before 9/11 Part II . . .

Do you know where Laura got it?
Thought so... there are a few words for lion.
The one I usually come across in Modern Standard Arabic is "assad," I did remember hearing that Osama was lion as well.
Thanks for the link.
It sure is.
