Is it just me, or what.....

[FishermanTim]

I was watching the local news last night and this morning, and although these two stories may not be linked, the fact that they were both reported on the same day just happened to make me think.
Now with news about possible terrorist attacks in the near future, I am concerned and a little more observant of the little things around me.

The first story was about a Vermont powerplant that is "missing" a couple of spent fuel rods from their nuclear reactor. That in itself is important, but not exactly a serious red flag item

Another story about a "full" gas tanker stolen from New Jersey
Again, important, but by itseld, not a red flag item.
(This has already been upgraded to a nation-wide alert.)

Combine the two, and you have a potential for a nasty event.
I, for one, am REALLY concerned for our safety. This may be nothing, but after the recent events in Iraq, the terrorists may have shifted their focus to the USA again. I pray that My assumptions are completely wrong, but I plan on being a little more aware of what's going on around me.

This may sound a little like the "chicken little - sky's falling" scenario, but I'd rather be safe that sorry.

Like I said, is it me, or what?
