Train travel alert

Just wanted to inform those who travel by train that the FBI has issued a warning that terrorists might target trains, bridges and railways. It pointed out that the terrorists would probably disguise themselves as Westeners to try to avoid detection. Not much we can do except keep an eye out.

Don't drive over bridges. Don't use subways. Don't use the railways. Guess we all have to sit home until the war on terrorism ends - which may be never.

Thank you for the warning, Al. I will keep my eye out. If only I knew what to watch out for... Maybe you know? Then share with us!

They'll be wearing ten gallon hats and cowboy boots.

Lucky for us that Amtrak is always late. It will throw the terrorist's entire plan off schedule!

That's hilarious, AmtrakGal, but too true. And I LOVE Amtrak. Maybe I'll rent a Viewliner car so I can hide under the bed til the terrorists go home.

My husband works for the UP and they have had these warnings ever since 9/11 - I wouldn't change any plans.
