I am sure you have all heard about the suspected plot to blow up the Mackinac bridge. That's the bridge I go over all the time. I just went over it yesterday and I will be going over it again Wednesday.
I did read that story! So scary!! Do I remember that you posted a story about a park near this bridge not too long ago? Or was that another bridge? Here in the SF Bay Area, bridges are always worried about. I think there are seven or eight major ones...
I had heard of this on the news and thought of you right away because I know you go over that bridge all the time!! I'm catching up on all the posts I've missed since I've been away...as usual your flowers are delightful and I laughed when I saw Freddy's Grandpa, he certainly isn't a very pretty one is he!! As for Freddy, I'm glad to hear he's still alive...loved the conversation you and hubby had!! ROFL
That's just a little bit too close to home isn't it?
I live within a couple of miles from one of the only two storage facilities for chemical weapons in the U.S. and it is HIGHLY GUARDED and has been since 9-11. Occasionally, I feel like we live in a Police State because of so many armed guards patroling this fascility...but they're only visible when explosives are being hauled in.
Alice, I don't live near the bridge. It's about 100 miles from me. I just go over it a lot on my weekend jaunts. Pea, Nice to have you back. Freddy's grandpa is Ugly with a capital U!.LOL. AIP, that's pretty scary, too living so close to that facility. These days you're in danger no matter where you live.
I appreciate you taking the time and effort to leave a comment. I will try to answer any questions you have. Please note due to Blogger changing word verification so almost nobody can read it, I have had to change to no word verification and only allow registered users to comment.
I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently.
During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings.
I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

Yes, Sue, you remember correctly.
ReplyDeleteYes, very worrying (not that I'd heard the story, of course).
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning view to see on your way to work each day.
