Navy F-18 crashes at RDU [Raleigh/Durham International]. Eye wittnesses say pilot ejected. Two F18s were taking off and the last one never made it off the ground. Pilot ejected and the plane is burning at end of runway. Witteneses say they can see him walking around. Hope this means he is OK. Hope he did not have a weapons officer. Think they are single seater.

I'm concerned with riding my VRE train after hearing almost daily reports of explosives tied to tracks in Europe

Almost makes me think that my previous auto commute might not have been so dangerous after all

Thanks man. Better get the neighbors to check [if they do not get to me by Wed.] as will be on plane to Orlando Thursday morning. Wife "says" her and sister are driving ahead of me [porbably will not]. UPS is not very good about putting things out of the rain under the covered stoop. Postal service is bad about hanging things on the mail box and I live on US route and in main part of town [stupid]. I've got to do a show at Bass Pro shops in Orlando. They pay me big time to talk to fishermen. What a rough time. Somebody has to do it. Finances my train purchases. [8D] Thanks
