Well, at least two of our offices (besides Oak Ridge) have decided to close, along with a number of DoD-related jobsites.<\/p>\n
My folks are in the main terminal building at DIA. The concourses have been evacuated. <\/p>\n
Margie is hearing on the TV news that cars going to the airport are being turned away at the old toll plaza. Doyce called to say he’d heard that folks at the airport were being bussed out to the old toll plaza.<\/p>\n
Called my folks on my Mom’s cell, and, amazingly, got through. They’re being told that people are being allowed in to pick up people, but that the airport is being closed.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Doyce mentions that he’s hearing that the FAA doesn’t know where five planes are still. Though whether that’s Sinister or simply A Sign The ATC System Needs To Be Replaced is not clear to me.<\/p>\n
This day is increasingly becoming more and more Looking Glass in style. Margie mentioned that “they” have closed the road across the top of Cherry Creek Dam. Now, granted, if the dam were to somehow be blown open, there would be quite a bit of death and destruction. But the chances seem awfully slim. Margie noted, “Better safe than sorry,” but, by the same token, if we do too much squawking about like chickens with heads cut off, we simply aid and abet “the enemy.”<\/p>\n
Still, I suppose the folks in the Denver PD (or whomever “they” are) are looking around desperately for something to do other than sit there and listen to the ongoing depressing news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
