Yikes. as I posted in good morning thread, today I went to the military base at Great Lakes...easy child needed a new photo ID done, and we wanted to get my bug (car) stickered to be allowed on base without haveing to go get a day pass whenever I went.....so- we were out over by there today. I also do my grocery shopping there when I go there, and I wander around, sometimes going to Gurnee Mills etc?
Now the entire trip there there were an extremely large amount of emergency vehicles everywhere, from next door all the way to the base and all over out by the base, --------
then I went down another road, and YIKES, a shopping center blew up while I was on the road in front of it!
(so of course, then there were nonstop emergency vehicles for hours after)
One of the stores was full of mannequins, and the mannequins blew out and landed all over the road......it was kinda creepy!!!!!!
Sure seems like lately I manage to find so many very familiar places on the TV news etc......and I seem to be frequenting some pretty volatile places? (Literally)
Even after we drove away from the explosion scene, you could still smell the fire.....altho we could not see smoke.
They are afraid one more cutomer of a salon might be caught in the rubble....but they stopped searching for tonite, according to local radio, surprised me cuz it was still light outside, and we are supposed to get approx 4-6 inches more snow tonite.
It sure gave me the creeps. Yup, I am now starting to have some reconsiderations about being at shopping centers, between the Lane Bryant shootings and now this?
And I heard there is a LOT of scary graffitti and threats at all the universities around here this week.and turns out my difficult child just last nite heard belatedly from a friend -he was in the ill fated NIU class the day of the shooting there.......<sigh>Me and so will be next door to that mall in I think 2 weeks? I am not sure if we are gonna go to the mall, anymore or not, tho.
ANd that case of my neighbor who killed his 2 month old baby? Grr......turns out that case got assigned same judge, same court dates as the case for where my easy child is a victim (which has stretched out to coming up to 2 years, now, grrr) so- it looks as though I will be sitting in courtroom every month, now with THAT scary guy, too.
It is a chaotic scary world. :-(
