Guest guest Posted August 6, 2002 Report Share Posted August 6, 2002 I drove Em to work, about 3 miles from our home. I turned on the radio and they were talking about a bomb at the credit union 2 blocks from Em's store. We got to her store, but beyond, everything was police-taped off and road blocked. There were many police cars, the bomb squad unit, emergency vehicles, tv & radio reporters. Everyone from the credit union to 4 blocks away had been evacuated...Safeway for 45 minutes, and they had just gone back in the store a few minutes prior to our arrival. Mcs, a pizza place, Jiffy-Lube, man other businesses were still evacuated. Some %$!@# placed a pipe bomb at the front door of the credit union. The bomb squad detonated it. This is the 3rd pipe bomb incident in our area in the past week. I can only imagine how the people in Israel feel every day. I had to talk to Em about the importance of NOT letting these idiotic yodelberries keeping us from living our lives. But what I wanted was to say to heck with work today, you're coming home with me. The police announced All Clear. Em has a short shift. I'll pick her up...I don't even want her on the bus tonight. It was like a scene we see all the time on TV, only where we live. Thank God no one was hurt. They have not caught the culprit yet. Sigh....this is so scary, and so sad. Tess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
