Almanac's and terrorism???
Edited on Fri Jan-07-05 02:45 AM by tyedyeto
I can't believe that people really think this shit up.

So I have an almanac to decide when to plant my garden, go fishing, or just enjoy the many anecdotes in it, could lead to my being questioned by federal officials...................

1. I have an almanac
I like the jokes in it. I don't understand why the FBI is worried about it. (I guess it's one of too many things I don't understand, but I'm trying to learn.)

2. I bought them for years when ......
I lived in CA, had a huge garden every year (water in So. AZ is precious), went fishing (again,lack of water). Also liked to see if the weather predictions were on target or just smoke out of the ears kind of stuff.

6. Just one more measure to get you used to the fact that now everybody
can get stopped and questioned anytime, anyplace in my opinion. The worst part is that people do seem to get used to it. I hear no outcry... with the exception of DU :)
