Oui, toi."Could I get out of this by saying I was just curious about what the bumper sticker looked like?
(No, I doubt that's gonna work)

I just saw you color-coded numbers to info. Okay, so I've now proven I have a pee brain.

I couldn't resist, I must post one of the comments (by plaid) over there :
I really don't want to break their hearts but I believe Osama Yomama is maggot food right now.
LOL.
To: bcoffey
Uh, sure! (Because I think we need to get out of this!)
It's red, white and blue, of course!
He told us he plans to run for Republican Conference Chairman (J.C. Watts held it).
(How'd I do changing the subject?)
To: Gritty
A foreigner who can't speak much English and has spent little time driving in this area would likely have made a mission compromising mistake eiher in traffic or... An excellent point.

The more I study your map, the more I'm intrigued, for lack of a better word. And yes, your warnings are worthwhile. I'd like to know if the Police are in greater numbers on the offensive in the areas you suggested greater caution might be in order.
To: bcoffey
LOL!

I know...lot's of rental agency's...but the Total Rental lettering on the truck would explain the first reports, later dismissed by Moose, of Total...Something.
And the Waldorf location leads the shooters on open roads north and south to where the shooting happened. I was born and raised in Fairfax County...been in the National Capital Region all of my life...know the area pretty well...seemed logical until Home Depot...oh well

A guy on foot with a two way radio and/or private phone or phone booth access can choose his path and call for a pickup at the corner of X and X.
The actual driver only needs a road map and a couple of test drives (one very recent) around the areas.
I just think the shooter is walking farther than we think. I'm sometimes inclined to think that the Thursday series was almost totally on foot..

Fixed it...thanks!

Shooter on foot and later picked up, I've wondered about this too.
To: valleygal
FOX is reporting another shooting. I wish they wouldn't report shootings unless they're initially suspected to be linked. This one is in Hanover County where Ashland is located along I-95.

Just heard that there's been a shooting, in Virginia, police en route.
To: antivenom
LOL! I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy. Thank you.
To: Ligeia; nicmarlo
TV not on, kids are watching a movie. Keep us posted.

We use two ways all the time. If I put myself in the shooters footsteps, I can picture walking the edge of the green spaces or woods with a backpack into a residential area and eventually giving out an intersection to the driver.
For all we know, they have handheld GPS units and the shooter could be giving the lat/long to the driver who has a GPS car unit. We keep assuming that they have to get onto the major highways.
Subdivisions usually have a couple of exits and are easy to follow on a local Town Map. All they have to do is make sure (the day before) that there is no construction going on...which would cut them off.
