Such a coincidence... not

At today's group leads meeting, we were instructed to advise our groups about a future event at Orion Park, a grassy area just outside our gate and near US 101. A "terrorist preparedness demonstration" complete with explosions, simulated casualties, paratroopers and helicopters overhead... and temporary freeway closures. We were asked to let staff know, so we wouldn't overreact to "temporary chaos" outside the fence.

Any guesses as to when this public spectacle is scheduled? November 7-8. Election Day. One wonders at the media coverage if major highways are blocked by helicopters and troops, outside of Moffett Field...

Oh, that's tacky. Tacky.

Actually, it's a lot worse than that.

OMG. That's disgusting. I wish I could say surprising, but....

Can you complain to the county elections office? The freeway closures may make it difficult for people to get to the polls.

I'm going to be in the UK that week, so I'm slightly disappointed that I'll miss the 'fun'.

Ugh. So. Not. Cool.

grrr...

I'll be so glad when all the hubbub over 'terrorists' is over. I know it may be a while.. maybe even years but still, I'll be glad when its not such a panic reflex.

Ugh... I wonder if anyone's gonna alert the press in advance that it's 'just' a demo...

You're going to understand if I don't come into the office on those days, right? Way to make those of us with PTSD feels all warm and fuzzy ;(.
