    My dad and his lovely wife (both not JWs) moved to Maryland about (6) weeks ago. My dad is still here in Pennsylvania due to his employment circumstance. However, today is his last day at his job. He officially will be in Maryland TONIGHT (Friday, October 4th).

    I am following him down there and I will be spending the night at his house. Big deal, right?

    Well, it just so happens that they live in Silver Spring, Maryland (Montgomery County), where some sharpshooting NUT is going around killing folks at random. The killer or killers are still on the loose.

    Two things: 1) Keep me in your thoughts and hope I don't get shot and 2) Does anyone live in this area and would like to hook up with me? I'll be there tonight and tomorrow.

    Here's the info about the killings:

    Police offered these details of the Thursday attacks:

  • At 7:41 a.m., police were called to a crime scene and found James L. Buchanan, a 39-year-old landscaper identified as the son of a retired Montgomery County police officer, who had been shot while mowing at Fitzgerald Auto Mall, a car dealership on Rockville Pike.

  • At 8:12 a.m., a caller reported that Prenkumar Walekar, 54, a taxi driver from Olney, Maryland, was shot and killed while he was filling his minivan with gas at a Mobil station in Aspen Hill.

  • At 8:37 a.m., Sarah Ramos, 34, of Silver Spring, was killed at a post office near Leisure World, a retirement community on International Drive. It was in that shooting that a witness told police that two people in a white van with black lettering on its side and a damaged rear lift sped away from the parking lot immediately afterward.

  • At 9:58 a.m., Lori Ann Lewis-Rivera, 25, of Silver Spring was reported shot in a Shell gas station on Connecticut Avenue in Kensington, where she was vacuuming her late-model purple Plymouth Voyager van.

    Ummmm.... and you and your Father couldn't postpone your drive down until later this weekend? Give the cops a chance to find the gunman/men?

    By the way,

    Anybody here read The Straw Men ? Isn't this Maryland case a little too close to We Rise?

    outnfree... Thanks for the advice (concern?). But, that's my dad's new home. Plus, his wife has been there alone while my dad finished his tenure at his place of employment.

    I never read The Straw Men. Is that a book about a drug addicted baseball player?

    Funchback, according to the location of the list of victims, you and your father should definitely stay away from gas stations.

    You also might consider just staying inside until they catch this nut!

    Be careful.

    Thanks, Dutchie.

    I can always depend on you (and Nikita and Beck_M) to show some love!

    I'll keep my eyes peeled for any white vans.

    To anyone in this vicinity of Maryland: Would you like to hook up for dinner or a drink? (Bullet-proof vest is optional)

    Are you staying the whole weekend? I may be able to meet you half -way?

    <sniff> I feel SO misunderstood!!!!!

    Funch,

    I understand that the Mrs. has been alone for quite some time and that your Dad is anxious to finally go home. But, seriously, SHE should stay inside and keep her head down, and YOU and your dad might want to reflect that she would be alone for a much LONGER time if your Dad gets picked off by the sniper! Another day or two delay is not really so much, is it? It's DANGEROUS out there!!!

    My bad. I didn't mean to leave you out. You did show some love AND you were the first to do so. Thanks so much! Also, the "concern?" was because I wasn't sure if I should call it advice or concern. I don't want you to think that I meant "is this supposed to be concern?!?" Thanks for everything and I still say that you "n" stands for NUT!!!

    Nikita... I am getting my butt outta there by Saturday. I'm not sure what time, though. How long is half-way? I probably want to stay close to dad because I think he wants to do something(s) with me. He definitely wants to go to Champps restaurant.
