Is this REAL? Or is this a bad dream?

[AKA2D '91]

While at work today, my assistant told me that she saw military, I guess army tanks being escorted down one of our main boulevards today.
The ones like these: (MINUS THE SMILIE, OF COURSE)

She said she just had to stop in the middle of the street (briefly) because she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Then, another colleague says that the trains are passing continuously and that normally means "it's not good", the situation that is.

Sunday, I awoke to jets from the nearby Air Station "performing".

Surplus stores were showing how they were selling "masks" and all and the variety of colors they came in.

I guess some don't want to discuss this, but I'm sorry...Right now, I can't believe some of this. I never imagined that I would ever see us in a major "crisis" like this.

Is THIS real? Say it ain't so, you all..say it ain't so!

Have you all seen "signs" in your area that "we" are getting prepared for something?
