Boy, this covers about everything.... Terrorism, secure the borders, Arizona immigration law, Religion of Peace, Energy crisis, etc.
Al Gore showed up on the cover of a magazine again?
Oh, that’s not good for the operators, especially when you consider NRC fatigue rules are still in effect. Yuck.
Not another Favre thread!
Brett Favre text???
The package was found during inspection of a car entering the plant (evidently someone who worked there).
Thank you.

Redefining “Junk Mail”
The driver finally showed up and his truck was being inspected. The next thing I saw is the security guards all running around with M-16's and the driver spread eagle and pushed very hard into the metal chain length fence.
It seems the idiot driver worked for his dads trucking company and supplemented his income by delivering pot around the south east. He had over 2 lbs of it in his cab and was suppossed to deliver it somewhere else after dropping off my toolboxes. Needless to say I did not get my toolboxes for a day becuase they took everything on that truck apart.
AH, South Georgia. I love living here!
Do they do tours of the plant? I’d love to visit.
My Guess:
Test Run/recon probe by an environmental terrorist group, Middle eastern terrorist group, Mexican Mafia or the Chinese.
New Black Panthers??
And also the Amish....
Nope. Smoke flare used for training firefighters, left under the seat of the car by the guy’s wife without his knowledge. No big deal, really, but I’m glad our security force keeps their eyes open.
It was a nice chance for people to go get some breakfast while they waited for the problem to be cleared up. I finally got into my building about 2 hours late. Last time this happened, we were locked down for half a day.
Its not Brett Favre’s is it?
