I used to live about 10 miles north of this area and my very best friend lives much closer to Amsterdam.
Spoke to her this morning and she didn't really know anymore than what has been reported. The cause is just said to be "under investigation". The area it happened in, as I recall, was kind of a warehouse small factory type area. Fownes Leathers had their warehouse there, which is the only way I know, they had super bargains on all the name brand leather goods they produced!
She's under orders to call me if she hears anything! I'll let you all know if she does.
And, that standoff and supposed suicide over by UCSD last weekend, hasn't been a peep about it in the news. That North County Times article is the only one in the area that I have seen any information in. I find this odd. There is always the possibility that I could have missed it in the Union Tribune but I really don't think so. Heck, I even read the little tiny police reports from all the towns in the area so I'm really sure I would have seen something about it. I'll keep watching and looking though.
sigh.. pardon the severe grammatical errors.. it is one of those days!
Checking in from Country Inn & Suites near Sea World. Dang, it's great to have Internet wireless.
Since we just got here, there's nothing to report ... except, why would a terrorist want to pick on the theme parks here? It's almost impossible to get around in traffic. :-)
We're off to Downtown Disney for dinner and a visit afterward to Lego Imagination Center, at our son's behest. In the meantime, I will be ever vigilant. I may look like a normal dad, but behind the jeans, striped shirt and sandals lurks a terrorist hunter. I will keep my eyes peeled (what does that mean, anyway?).
Tomorrow morning, we're going to Sea World - which includes having lunch at Shark Encounter and an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour (arranged by my sister-in-law, who works for Busch Entertainment). As always, my terror radar will be on. Wish me luck on my dangerous mission.
Stay safe.
Thanks Kyla, that's the only way we'll ever learn any more about it. For some reason many news reports lately appear to have been "sanitized."
