If you have ever been in Destin, Florida, you have likely experienced the traffic mayhem on US Route 98, which runs East and West; it is brutal. Well, imagine that highway's travel condition when a suspicious looking box sits alone at an large intersection? Automobiles, trucks and service vehicles were at a standstill for better than three hours while the Panama City Bomb Squad drove 40 miles to to the site to determine if the threat was real or not. Thank goodness, I learned about the situation in the morning newspaper. The box turned out to be innocent, perhaps a hoax.
We can all agree that Americans have become more and more Security conscience in recent years and certainly justifiable. Too bad these times has us 'looking' over our shoulder and stifling our natural curiosity.
Obviously, this new cautionary approach flies in the face of Americans' cowboy adventurous 'push-the-envelope' life style. We climb mountains sail the seas, bungee-jump from bridges with rubber bands tied around our ankles towards certain disaster spitting in the face death.
I guess the new motto in America is 'If the box ain't yours don't pick up the 'thing.'
(Touch)
What is that?
